<p>Geany is using GtkRecentManager, GNOME's system for sharing recent documents across apps.</p>
<p>This has the consequence of gedit, and likely many other tools, having files that were opened in Geany in their recent files list.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>(Also I noted how this affects <a class="issue-link js-issue-link" data-error-text="Failed to load issue title" data-id="456621298" data-permission-text="Issue title is private" data-url="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2194" data-hovercard-type="issue" data-hovercard-url="/geany/geany/issues/2194/hovercard" href="https://github.com/geany/geany/issues/2194">#2194</a>)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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 <a href="https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/2138" rel="nofollow">https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/2138</a>.</p>
