[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Allow disabling use of GtkRecentManager (#2294)

[Chris Graham]

Geany is using GtkRecentManager, GNOME's system for sharing recent documents across apps.

This has the consequence of gedit, and likely many other tools, having files that were opened in Geany in their recent files list.

Developers work across dozens of files, so the recent files list in apps like gedit becomes useless. I am relying on gedits recent file list.

(Also I noted how this affects #2194)

I believe Geany should allow disabling population of GtkRecentManager, which it doesn't need anyway as it maintains its own recent file list in geany.conf.

As an aside/rant, the whole notion of GtkRecentManager seems insane to me. I reported this to them, but having that resolved is going to be a lot harder than just Geany having a config option https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/2138.
