Detailed Description

RecentManager provides a facility for adding, removing and looking up recently used files. Each recently used file is identified by its URI, and has meta-data associated to it, like the names and command lines of the applications that have registered it, the number of time each application has registered the same file, the mime type of the file and whether the file should be displayed only by the applications that have registered it.

The RecentManager acts like a database of all the recently used files. You can create new RecentManager objects, but it is more efficient to use the standard recent manager for the Gdk::Screen so that informations about the recently used files is shared with other people using them. Normally, you retrieve the recent manager for a particular screen using get_for_screen() and it will contain information about current recent manager for that screen.

Member Function Documentation

◆ add_item() [1/2]

bool Gtk::RecentManager::add_item ( const Glib::ustring & uri )

Adds a new resource into the recently used resources list. This function will try and guess some of the meta-data associated to a URI. If you know some of meta-data about the document yourself, set the desired fields of a RecentManager::Data structure and pass it to add_item().

◆ add_item() [2/2]

bool Gtk::RecentManager::add_item	(	const Glib::ustring &	uri,
		const Data &	recent_data
	)

Adds a new resource into the recently used resources list, taking meta data from the given Data instead of guessing it from the URI.

◆ create()

static Glib::RefPtr<RecentManager> Gtk::RecentManager::create ( )

static

◆ get_default()

static Glib::RefPtr<RecentManager> Gtk::RecentManager::get_default ( )

static

Gets a unique instance of Gtk::RecentManager, that you can share in your application without caring about memory management. The returned instance will be freed when you application terminates.

Returns: A unique Gtk::RecentManager. Do not ref or unref it.

◆ get_for_screen()

static Glib::RefPtr<RecentManager> Gtk::RecentManager::get_for_screen ( const Glib::RefPtr< Gdk::Screen > & screen )

static

Gets the recent manager object associated with screen; if this function has not previously been called for the given screen, a new recent manager object will be created and associated with the screen. Recent manager objects are fairly expensive to create, so using this function is usually a better choice than calling new() and setting the screen yourself; by using this function a single recent manager object will be shared between users.

Deprecated: 2.12: This function has been deprecated and should not be used in newly written code. Calling this function is equivalent to calling get_default().

Parameters

screen A Gdk::Screen.

Returns: A unique Gtk::RecentManager associated with the given screen. This recent manager is associated to the with the screen and can be used as long as the screen is open. Do not ref or unref it.

◆ get_items()

ListHandle_RecentInfos Gtk::RecentManager::get_items ( ) const

Gets the list of recently used resources.

Returns: A list of newly allocated Gtk::RecentInfo objects. Use Gtk::RecentInfo::unref() on each item inside the list, and then free the list itself using Glib::list_free().

◆ get_limit()

int Gtk::RecentManager::get_limit ( ) const

Gets the maximum number of items that the get_items() function should return.

Deprecated: 2.22: The length of the list should be managed by the view (implementing Gtk::RecentChooser), and not by the model (the Gtk::RecentManager). See Gtk::RecentChooser::property_limit().

Returns: The number of items to return, or -1 for every item.

◆ get_type()

static GType Gtk::RecentManager::get_type ( )

static

Get the GType for this class, for use with the underlying GObject type system.

◆ gobj() [1/2]

GtkRecentManager* Gtk::RecentManager::gobj ( )

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Definition at line 169 of file recentmanager.h.

◆ gobj() [2/2]

const GtkRecentManager* Gtk::RecentManager::gobj ( ) const

inline

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

Definition at line 172 of file recentmanager.h.

◆ gobj_copy()

GtkRecentManager* Gtk::RecentManager::gobj_copy ( )

Provides access to the underlying C instance. The caller is responsible for unrefing it. Use when directly setting fields in structs.

◆ has_item()

bool Gtk::RecentManager::has_item ( const Glib::ustring & uri ) const

Checks whether there is a recently used resource registered with uri inside the recent manager.

Parameters

uri A URI.

Returns: true if the resource was found, false otherwise.

◆ lookup_item() [1/2]

Glib::RefPtr<RecentInfo> Gtk::RecentManager::lookup_item ( const Glib::ustring & uri )

Searches for a URI inside the recently used resources list, and returns a structure containing informations about the resource like its MIME type, or its display name.

Parameters

uri A URI.

Returns: A Gtk::RecentInfo structure containing information about the resource pointed by uri, or 0 if the URI was not registered in the recently used resources list. Free with Gtk::RecentInfo::unref().

◆ lookup_item() [2/2]

Glib::RefPtr<const RecentInfo> Gtk::RecentManager::lookup_item ( const Glib::ustring & uri ) const

Searches for a URI inside the recently used resources list, and returns a structure containing informations about the resource like its MIME type, or its display name.

Parameters

uri A URI.

Returns: A Gtk::RecentInfo structure containing information about the resource pointed by uri, or 0 if the URI was not registered in the recently used resources list. Free with Gtk::RecentInfo::unref().

◆ move_item()

bool Gtk::RecentManager::move_item	(	const Glib::ustring &	uri,
		const Glib::ustring &	new_uri
	)

Changes the location of a recently used resource from uri to new_uri.

Please note that this function will not affect the resource pointed by the URIs, but only the URI used in the recently used resources list.

Parameters

uri	The URI of a recently used resource.
new_uri	The new URI of the recently used resource, or `0` to remove the item pointed by uri in the list.

Returns: true on success.

◆ on_changed()

virtual void Gtk::RecentManager::on_changed ( )

protectedvirtual

This is a default handler for the signal signal_changed().

◆ property_filename()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gtk::RecentManager::property_filename ( ) const

The full path to the file to be used to store and read the list.

Returns: A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_limit() [1/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy< int > Gtk::RecentManager::property_limit ( )

The maximum number of items to be returned by gtk_recent_manager_get_items().

Returns: A PropertyProxy that allows you to get or set the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.

◆ property_limit() [2/2]

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< int > Gtk::RecentManager::property_limit ( ) const

The maximum number of items to be returned by gtk_recent_manager_get_items().

◆ property_size()

Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< int > Gtk::RecentManager::property_size ( ) const
