What is the magic behind "recent files"?

Hello,
Usually file managers have implemented the feature to list and show recent files for quick navigation and finding.
But what does "recent" exactly mean? Recently used, modified or created?
I am asking because from my experience it only shows recently used but not recently created files.
Can anyone confirm that?

There are *many* standards in computing - that's just one.  And for a vast majority of the *nix world it wouldn't even make sense or work at all.  That is a Desktop standard.  So you will find that programs that are part of a Desktop Environment will adhere to it.  Programs that are not, will not.  <sidenote> while I don't imagine it was your intent, it is hard for me not to cringe at the idea of a poorly written standard that leads to bloat and poor functioning programs being forced upon all software developers - not everyone has or wants a gui let alone a DE </sidenote>
KDE and gnome both have their own screenshot tools that undoubtedly will make the appropriate entries in these files.   In other words, if you want a tool that works with your DE, get a tool for your DE.
I'm pretty sure there is a way to "manually" add a file as well, so you could make a wrapper script for scrot and/or other programs that would run scrot, then make the entry in the file list.

  • What's the use of this file?

    I found a file with the name [email protected] in $oracle_home/dbs.
    I deleted it and my oracle works as usual.
    What's the use of this file?
    Thanks

    I hope you took a backup of that file before zapping it. As a rule, it's a very bad idea to just delete a file in the Oracle directory to see whether anything breaks.
    If you had read the documentation you would have discovered that [email protected] is part of the RMAN configuration. So your database will continue to work up until the point you try to use RMAN to recover it. If you don't use RMAN then you probably won't miss that file.

  • Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    Exporting photos for UHDTV or Native 4K TV, what are the best settings ? (File: Quality File: Color Space, Image Sizing and resolution)   Or in other words; How can I get the smallest files but keep good quality for display on new UHDTV

    You're welcome, and thank you for the reply.
    2) Yesterday I made the subclips with the In-Out Points and Command-U, the benefit is that I've seen the clip before naming it. Now I'm using markers, it's benefit is that I can write comment and (the later) clip name at once, the drawback is that I have to view to the next shot's beginning before knowing what the shot contains.
    But now I found out that I can reconnect my clips independently to the format I converted the master clip to. I reconnected the media to the original AVI file and it worked, too! The more I work with, the more I'm sold on it... - although it doesn't seem to be able to read and use the date information within the DV AVI.
    1) Ok, I tried something similar within FCE. Just worked, but the file size still remains. Which codec settings should I use? Is the export to DV in MOV with a quality of 75% acceptable for both file size and quality? Or would be encoding as H.264 with best quality an option for archiving, knowing that I have to convert it back to DV if I (maybe) wan't to use it for editing later? Or anything else?
    Thank's in advance again,
    André

  • What is the concept behind using table PA0002 and structure p0002.

    Hi,
    What is the concept behind using table PA0002 and structure p0002.
    Many times, I have seen Looping at structure e.g. p0002, p0006 etc. and data is processed and also seen Looping at table PA0002, PA0006 etc. with further appropriate subtypes if any to retrieve a value and process the same.
    In which context tables like PA,HRP,IT etc. are used and structures p0001,p0002 etc. are used.
    Regards,
    Ameet

    HI,
    As mentioned  that that Structure Pnnnn is user as a internal tablw when a LDB is used.
    Ex.
    TABLES: PERNR.
    INFOTYPES: 0001.
      GET PERNR.
        PROVIDE * FROM P0001 BETWEEN PN-BEGDA AND PN-ENDDA.
        WRITE:  / P0001-PERNR,
                  P0001-STELL,
                  P0001-BEGDA,
                  P0001-ENDDA.
        ENDPROVIDE.
    Here it is important to declare the infotypes you want to read  and so the system will create internal tables  ex. P0001.
    Tables PA0001 are database table with following fields
    MANDT
    .INCLUDE  PAKEY
    .INCLUDE  PSHD1
    .INCLUDE   PS nnnn
    Thanks,

  • What is the concept behind MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE

    What is the concept behind MASTER_IDOC_DISTRIBUTE ?

    Hi Manjunath,
    Please check the Documentation of the Function Module in SE37
    This function module is the interface from the application to the ALE layer on the outbound side. The application can pass an IDoc, the so-called master IDoc, as an internal table using the parameters MASTER_IDOC_CONTROL and MASTER_IDOC_DATA.
    This IDoc is then converted into one or communcation IDocs and stored in the ALE layer. IDocs for which no errors occurred are passed to dispatch control.
    In the table parameter  COMMUNICATION_IDOC_CONTROL the header records for the communication IDocs created are retturned. You can tell whether processing was successful from the field STATUS.
    A COMMIT WORK must be dispatched in the calling program, otherwise the IDocs may not be dispatched.
    Best regards,
    raam

  • Could you tell me what is the reason behind all this?

    Hi
      Zp0001, we have 510 pcs in stock, but for some reasons we can’t commit the orders that we have on the system. When we go into a xyz order 308 for example), the system commits only to February, even if we could do a partial shipment.
    Could you tell me what is the reason behind all this?

    Please look into availability check for that particular material,
    based on the availability check the system determines whether to
    confirm the sales order (if the sales order qty > inshe stock (either
    rejection/partial confirmation - depends upon the availability check),
    followed by determination of delivery date

  • In CRM 2007 what is the code behind the Navigation bar?.

    In CRM 2007 what is the code behind the Navigation bar?.
    Jason

    It might be in component CRMCMP_NAVBAR. However, so far I have been unable to get a break point to activate. Ideally on choosing an option from the navigation bar, like Service ticket, I would like the debug session to start before call the Service Ticket component.
    This is all in the aim of trying to determine why the initial startup of the Service Ticket is so slow.

  • Upping the number of Recent Files shown in menu?

    There used to be a preference for this in CS2, but I can't find where to up the number of Recent Files shown in the File menu. Is this still possible?

    Look for the Preferences file in your user-folder and open it in a text editor.
    Then change the entry maxRecentFiles
    If you want to be sure: make a copy of the file before editing
