Bugzilla – Bug 187879
Main Menu - There is no way through the UI to clear the recent documents list
Last modified: 2016-04-15 09:02:23 UTC
SLED build : 1360 Detail : There appears to be no way in the UI to clear the recent documents list. This can decrease the whole point of the menu since if the list is highly populated, then its relevance rapidly decreases. Steps: 1. Through the UI, attempt to clear the Recent Documents history. Expected : It is generally excepted that apps that have a memory of past operations should have a way to forget that information to preserve possible privacy concerns. In order to have a friendly desktop, this method should be exposed within the UI of the application.
I'm pretty sure that this is an enhancement request as this kind of recent file management is not mentioned in the spec. Reassigning to Anna.
David, Do we have this features in future?

submitted, waiting for check in.
Created attachment 275926 [details] clean recent used document Replace the last patch submitted. This patch is better.
Hi, can I submit the patch (with translations) to our Update?
No, please submit it for SP1. currently there is no way to submit for SP1 though.
Moving this to openSUSE 11.1 to make it public.
It will be really great if this patch is included in openSUSE 11.2. There are a couple of feature requests for this for 11.2 already. https://features.opensuse.org/306895 and https://features.opensuse.org/306949

Much obliged that someone looked into this issue and resolved it. Although it took more than 3 years. Privacy features are not enhancements, they are necessities.
11.2 Milestone5 and still waiting.
I just submitted this for GNOME:Factory. Lovely patch; thanks, David! I'll push it upstream to the appropriate parts of libslab and gnome-main-menu.
The patch is pushed upstream now for both libslab and gnome-main-menu. Libslab's changed document_tile_new() will go into 2.29.0 (we are string-frozen upstream, so this has to wait until that release). Gnome-main-menu's corresponding patch will appear in 0.9.14, but that will depend on libslab 2.29.0.
Created attachment 318062 [details] fix a bug with the last patch I test gnome-main-menu 0.9.13 with my previous patch. A bug is, In the recently used document session, 'add to favoriate' crash main-menu. This patch fix it.

David, will this patch be commited upstream? I can already take it into the openSUSE Package, but we should not forget to push it.
(tested the patch.. does no longer crash indeed).
Forwarded the patch to openSUSE Factory. Patch should still be applied upstream git before closing here.
Patch committed upstream.
