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 default manager created by GTK+.

Since gtkmm 2.10:

Member Function Documentation

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().

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.

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

Returns
A unique Gtk::RecentManager. Do not ref or unref it.
std::vector<Glib::RefPtr<RecentInfo> > Gtk::RecentManager::get_items ( ) const

Gets the list of recently used resources.

Returns
A list of newly allocated Gtk::RecentInfo objects.
static GType Gtk::RecentManager::get_type ( )
static

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

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

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

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

Provides access to the underlying C GObject.

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.

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
uriA URI.
Returns
true if the resource was found, false otherwise.
Glib::RefPtr<RecentInfo> Gtk::RecentManager::lookup_item ( const Glib::ustring uri)

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

Parameters
uriA URI.
Returns
A Gtk::RecentInfo containing information about the resource pointed by uri, or nullptr if the URI was not registered in the recently used resources list. Free with Gtk::RecentInfo::unref().
Exceptions
Glib::Error
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 Gtk::RecentInfo containing information about the resource like its MIME type, or its display name.

Parameters
uriA URI.
Returns
A Gtk::RecentInfo containing information about the resource pointed by uri, or nullptr if the URI was not registered in the recently used resources list. Free with Gtk::RecentInfo::unref().
Exceptions
Glib::Error
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
uriThe URI of a recently used resource.
new_uriThe new URI of the recently used resource, or nullptr to remove the item pointed by uri in the list.
Returns
true on success.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
virtual void Gtk::RecentManager::on_changed ( )
protectedvirtual

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

RecentManager& Gtk::RecentManager::operator= ( RecentManager&&  src)
noexcept
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< Glib::ustring > Gtk::RecentManager::property_filename ( ) const

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

Default value: ""

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
Glib::PropertyProxy_ReadOnly< int > Gtk::RecentManager::property_size ( ) const

The size of the recently used resources list.

Default value: 0

Returns
A PropertyProxy_ReadOnly that allows you to get the value of the property, or receive notification when the value of the property changes.
int Gtk::RecentManager::purge_items ( )

Purges every item from the recently used resources list.

Returns
The number of items that have been removed from the recently used resources list.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
bool Gtk::RecentManager::remove_item ( const Glib::ustring uri)

Removes a resource pointed by uri from the recently used resources list handled by a recent manager.

Parameters
uriThe URI of the item you wish to remove.
Returns
true if the item pointed by uri has been successfully removed by the recently used resources list, and false otherwise.
Exceptions
Glib::Error
Glib::SignalProxy<void()> Gtk::RecentManager::signal_changed ( )
Slot Prototype:
void on_my_changed()

Flags: Run First

Emitted when the current recently used resources manager changes its contents, either by calling Gtk::RecentManager::add_item() or by another application.
