Re: [gcmd-dev] history

[kht-lists]

Hello Michael,

There sure is a lot of STUFF saved which probably should not be saved. (Not 
nearly as bad as Windoze though :-) However, as far as gnome-commander goes I 
am not seeing the history you describe.  I am running g-c 1.8.1 on CentOS 7 
with the Mate desktop. All I find in .gnome2 are

directory accels containing the file gnome-commander which is described as "; 
this file is an automated accelerator map dump"
file gnome-commander.depreciated
file gnome-commander-size.depreciated

The last two files contain some configuration sort of data, not history.

Have you killed "Recent Documents" or recently used?  I do this as follows

delete file ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
create and empty file by: touch ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
chmod -w ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel
sudo chattr +i ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

That seems to kill a lot of history although I am not sure if g-c makes use of 
that data.
