Recent versions of Gtk+ have changed the location of the file storing entries for recently used files on linux (Gtk+/win32 uses a different location for the same file): on linux it is now saved as ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel (in accordance with the XDG specification, I assume) > Moreover it is not always at opening that Inkscape freezes. AFAIU the file is rescanned if modified on disk, to always offer an up- to-date list in Inkscape's 'File > Open Recent…' menu. Note though that bug #740843 was only mentioned after the discussion in comments #4-6 which explicitly referred to the list of recently-used files which is stored in a single file per user and shared by all Gtk+ apps. > The bug you quote #740843 is more recent (…) Bug #740843 was filed on 2011-03-23, yours on 2011-05-20. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/785701 Title: Inkscape freezes at opening To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/785701/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
