class Gtk.RecentInfo¶

Gtk.RecentInfo-struct contains private data only, and should be accessed using the provided API.

Gtk.RecentInfo constains all the meta-data associated with an entry in the recently used files list.

New in version 2.10.

create_app_info(app_name)[source]¶

Parameters:: app_name (str or None) – the name of the application that should be mapped to a Gio.AppInfo; if None is used then the default application for the MIME type is used
Raises:: GLib.Error
Returns:: the newly created Gio.AppInfo, or None. In case of error, error will be set either with a %GTK_RECENT_MANAGER_ERROR or a %G_IO_ERROR
Return type:: Gio.AppInfo or None

Creates a Gio.AppInfo for the specified Gtk.RecentInfo

exists()[source]¶

Returns:: True if the resource exists
Return type:: bool

Checks whether the resource pointed by self still exists. At the moment this check is done only on resources pointing to local files.

New in version 2.10.

get_added()[source]¶

Returns:: the number of seconds elapsed from system’s Epoch when the resource was added to the list, or -1 on failure.
Return type:: int

Gets the timestamp (seconds from system’s Epoch) when the resource was added to the recently used resources list.

Returns:

None if no application with app_name has registered this resource inside the recently used list otherwise a tuple containing:

app_exec:: string containing the command line
count:: the number of times this item was registered
time_:: the timestamp this item was last registered for this application

Return type:

(app_exec: str, count: int, time_: int) or None

Gets the data regarding the application that has registered the resource pointed by self.

If the command line contains any escape characters defined inside the storage specification, they will be expanded.

New in version 2.10.

get_applications()[source]¶

Returns:: a newly allocated None-terminated array of strings. Use GLib.strfreev() to free it.
Return type:: [str]

Retrieves the list of applications that have registered this resource.
