Yes, I think it could be a (hidden?) option at least until it got fixed at the GTK level. Note that anyway it is only available if Geany was compiled against GTK >= 2.12.
Which is probably true for most Geany users (using GTK >= 2.12).
(After a quick Grep it seems to me it's 2.10, not 2.12).
Yes, actually. I don't know why I've said 2.12 sorry.
Maybe we could generally disable calling gtk_recent_manager_add_item() when opening more than one file at once because maybe the user doesn't want to have them added at all. Though, no idea if this is a valid assumption and also no idea how to verify it :).
I don't think so. I use that recent files feature, not that much but I use it. And I would be definitely surprised if a file is added to it if I open it alone but not if I open another file together. But of course if we open 15 files and only 10 are shown in the recent list, the first 5 might haven't be added at all. It would probably be a little tricky to do that but it's probably the less wrong workaround.
I'm not sure what you mean. Only add the last 10 files when opening multiple files at once?
Another idea: maybe we could add a similar workaround as you did in your patch you attached to the GTK bug report: we 'collect' filenames added to the GtkRecentManager instead of adding them directly and then add them bulky in an idle function. That wouldn't really solve the problem but at least put the IO heavy part into one block at the end of loading files.
