The Starbuntu program recent lists the recently used documents. Its icon is integrated in the panel Tint2. If the parameter "--nofilter" is not set, initially a text input window for a filter pops up which allows also regular expressions.

This program is not based on the package Zeitgeist as usual, as this package dosn't offer settings which file types shall be listed. However, the file types which are listed by the program recent, are defined in the text file ~/.config/gtk-3.0/recent.types and can be changed at any time.

The Starbuntu program recent-gtk lists the recently used documents detected by GTK. This program picks the list items from the GTK file $HOME/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.

In both programs the maximal length of the list is determined by the parameter max_recent_lines defined in $HOME/.config/openbox/environment.

When you choose a list entry with your mouse, the up/down keys or by typing a (regex) partial string of it the corresponding file gets normally opened with all-open, that means with its default application. The only exceptions are the file types listed in ~/.config/gtk-3.0/recent.exceptions: instead of being executed these ones get opened with the text editor for possibly being edited.
