Managing Recently Used Files

<!-- ##### SECTION Long_Description ##### -->
<para>
#GtkRecentManager 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.
</para>

<para>
The #GtkRecentManager acts like a database of all the recently
used files.  You can create new #GtkRecentManager objects, but
it is more efficient to use the standard recent manager for
the #GdkScreen so that informations about the recently used
files is shared with other people using them.  In case the
default screen is being used, adding a new recently used
file is as simple as:
</para>

<informalexample>
  <programlisting>
GtkRecentManager *manager;

manager = gtk_recent_manager_get_default ();
gtk_recent_manager_add_item (manager, file_uri);
  </programlisting>
</informalexample>

While looking up a recently used file is as simple as:

<informalexample>
  <programlisting>
GtkRecentManager *manager;
GtkRecentInfo *info;
GError *error = NULL;

manager = gtk_recent_manager_get_default ();
info = gtk_recent_manager_lookup_item (manager, file_uri, &amp;error);
if (error)
  {
    g_warning ("Could not find the file: &percnt;s", error-&gt;message);
    g_error_free (error);
  }
else
  {
    /* Use the info object */
    gtk_recent_info_unref (info);
  }
  </programlisting>
</informalexample>

<para>
Recently used files are supported since GTK+ 2.10.

<!-- ##### STRUCT GtkRecentManager ##### -->
<para>
Acts as a database of information about the list of recently
used files.  Normally, you retrieve the recent manager for a
particular screen using gtk_recent_manager_get_for_screen()
and it will contain information about current recent manager
for that screen.</para>
