I have set Disabled ['gnome-documents.desktop'] Which indeed prevents gnome-documents from displaying in the activities interface. However, the Nautlius Recent Items do not show up there. I logged out and back in, I have rebooted, I have reinstalled the Search Recently Used Files extension and I have tried changing the search order to: ['nautilus.desktop', 'gnome-contacts.desktop', 'gnome-documents.desktop']. I can see that I have items when I open "Files" in my "Recent" Places.
Anyone have any further pointers?
