halting problem :: Recent Documents Applet

:: ~1 min read

This applet is a demonstrator of the new RecentManager API.

It’s a panel applet showing the list of recently used resources; the list may be filtered by date. Each item is droppable inside each application recognizing URIs targets.

Note: This is only a technology demonstrator; nobody uses the RecentManager API. Once the code goes into GTK, it will be more useful.

To Do

A short to-do list for this applet

  • Enable registration
  • Enable item launch using MIME types and latest application
  • Implement custom filters
  • Implement resources tracking (deletion, move, etc)
