If I try to open a non-existent file using a native gtk+ application, it
automatically prunes the non-existent file from the recent files file. Both KDE
and Gnome benefit from this.
LibreOffice simply clutters its recent files storage and doesn't clean up after
itself by removing stale entries on failure to open them which also poses a
privacy issue because users of FDo compliant desktops (Gnome/KDE/etc...) are
expecting the opposite different behavior.
Do you understand what I was after here and my concern?
It's your software so you can go ahead and not fix it if you wish but it is
really not Ok at all to ignore privacy issues.</pre>
