In my opinion, it would be much better if the items I don't want to see in the recent documents could be "hidden" instead of deleted. Maybe I do want all the items to be registered and store them in the history but I do not want them to be listed in the "Recent Documents" list of the overlay every time I access to it. Maybe I just want to flag the items so that they are not shown in the list, but I still could access to them if I do an explicit search. I think that's a much better solution than the out-of-record approach of firefox. The New-Tab screen of Google Chrome browser has a nice interface for that. When you hover the mouse over a website thumbnail you can either stick it to be always shown or remove it, to be never shown. All the other unsticked items are your Most-Frequently/Recently-Used. It's a mix of sticked (or "favorite") items, and most-recently-used that are not removed/hidden. -- Fernando _______________________________________________ gnome-shell-list mailing list [email protected] http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-shell-list
