Where to find “Recent Documents” in Fedora 12
Short answer: ~/.recently-used.xbel (taken from here, and it actually works on my computer).
It’s an XML files, organized in chronological order, last item most recently accessed.
It was moved into ~/.local/ or ~/.config or some other subdirectory in later revisions of Gnome, though. For example, on Linux Mint 19 it’s ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.
Just wanted this written down for my own future use.
