alright I 'll think about it and write a gui-plugin instead. I don't have neither gnome nor kde but I think inlining 10 recent items in the file menu is a bit too much =)

It seems that almost everything that you are doing should go into the core.

indeed

I am saying just the "Open Recent" versus File-inline issue might

be best resolved using GUI plugins. If there was overwhelming support for using "Open Recent" by default on GNU/Linux, I could be fine with that too.

I don't mind having an OS specific behavior but I think that if we inline recent files in Menu.file we should restrain it to 5 items (imagine 10 recent files list in there...).

so my proposal is: - linux/win keep the recentfiles list inlined in Menu.file (5 items max, no clear button, oh well..) and osx has a Recent (or "Open recent") submenu with 5 (or more? dunno the mac-way-of-life for that) recent items in it and a "clear" option (well, they paid for it =)

does that make sense ?

cheers, _y

Sure, works for me.
