• left click to open file/folder
• right click to open containing folder

https://extensions.gnome.org/extension/72/recent-items/

TODOS:

• do not list deleted files (soon)
• shortcut, like <super>+r (soon)
• gui for settings (or simple xml-file for settings) (soon)
• search input field
• hide button after cleaning
• simple float right icon to remove an item from list
• option to pin files on top?

SETTINGS:

To change the default settings (10 items, 50 more-items, no blacklisting), go to the top of your extensions.js, should be here:

~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/RecentItems@bananenfisch.net/extension.js
or /usr/share/gnome-shell/extensions/RecentItems@bananenfisch.net/extension.js

const ITEMS = 10; // number of items to list
const MORE = 50; // number of items to list under "more..."
const BLACKLIST = ""; // to blacklist (hide) spezific MIME media types

If you set MORE = 0, there will be no "More..."-Button. Available media-types are: text, image, audio, video, application, multipart, message, model. You can define one or more (seperate with ",") types.

const BLACKLIST = "image";

To blacklist all images, videos and audios, you can use:

const BLACKLIST = "image,audio,video";

Don’t forget to restart the shell, after changing settings...
