The latter is the generic Unix (vclplug_gen) implementation of SalInstance::AddToRecentDocumentList (vcl/inc/salinst.hxx) introduced in <<a href="https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/9e18c9ee07c6e8f9a62cdcb0237b183283a275ae%5E!/">https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/plugins/gitiles/core/+/9e18c9ee07c6e8f9a62cdcb0237b183283a275ae%5E!/</a>> "CWS-TOOLING: integrate CWS cmcfixes62", quoting which: "This function may have no effect under Unix because there is no standard API among the different desktop managers." (Note how AquaSalInstance::AddToRecentDocumentList, GtkInstance::AddToRecentDocumentList, and WinSalInstance::AddToRecentDocumentList interface with platform-specific "recently used document" functionality, while SvpSalInstance::AddToRecentDocumentList and Qt5Instance::AddToRecentDocumentList just do nothing.) It looks like LO itself is not reading ~/.recently-used (for anything but reading it in to write out a modified version via X11SalInstance::AddToRecentDocumentList), and I have no idea whether any other component of a Unix-like system would make use of that file. My gut feeling is that it won't hurt to just drop all of this functionality, and make X11SalInstance::AddToRecentDocumentList do nothing. (In which case the reference to .recently-used could probably also be dropped from sysui/desktop/apparmor/program.soffice.bin.) Maybe it makes sense to discuss this on the <a href="mailto:libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org">libreoffice@lists.freedesktop.org</a> mailing list.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
