[Unity-design] Recent Files timeout in HUD

2012-04-16 Thread Colin Law
Is there quite a short timeout for the Recent Files list in the Dash Home? For me it seems that it only shows files used in the last few hours which is much too short a timeout for me. For example when I start up in the morning it shows none of yesterday's files. The Recent Apps section does not

Is there a plan to show file and folder paths in the lenses? I am sure I am not the only one to have multiple files and folders of the same name in different paths. In the Dash lenses there seems to be no way of identifying which one is which. Or perhaps it is so obvious that I am missing it. C
