Hi,

Related to bug #157880:

As far as I have seen, there are 3 methods for recent file lists in GIMP 2.3: 1) ~/.recently-used
2) ~/.gimp-2.3/documents
3) GtkRecentManager (new with Gtk 2.10)

Is this correct? What is the difference between 1) and 2)?

No, it isn't. We don't use GtkRecentManager yet. We will probably switch to using it with GIMP 2.6. Until then ~/.recently-used is being used as the established way desktop-wide way to store recently used files as defined by the respective Free Desktop spec. The documents file in .gimp-2.3 is GIMP specific. The advantage is that it works on all platforms. But we will probably want to drop it as soon as we start to use GtkRecentManager.
