List of all members.

Detailed Description

RecentManager provides a facility for adding, removing and looking up recently used files.

Each recently used file is identified by its URI, and has meta-data associated to it, like the names and command lines of the applications that have registered it, the number of time each application has registered the same file, the mime type of the file and whether the file should be displayed only by the applications that have registered it.

The RecentManager acts like a database of all the recently used files. You can create new RecentManager objects, but it is more efficient to use the standard recent manager for the Gdk::Screen so that informations about the recently used files is shared with other people using them. Normally, you retrieve the recent manager for a particular screen using get_for_screen() and it will contain information about current recent manager for that screen.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Member Function Documentation

bool Gtk::RecentManager::add_item ( const Glib::ustring uri,
const Data recent_data 
)

Adds a new resource into the recently used resources list, taking meta data from the given Data instead of guessing it from the URI.

bool Gtk::RecentManager::add_item ( const Glib::ustring uri  ) 

Adds a new resource into the recently used resources list.

This function will try and guess some of the meta-data associated to a URI. If you know some of meta-data about the document yourself, set the desired fields of a RecentManager::Data structure and pass it to add_item().
