dear all,
how can i switch off the “recently used files” and “remember-app-usage” in MATE-Desk permanently?
for example in Firefox
: if i choose to open a file with “strg o
” i get the whole list of documents (txt, pdf, doc), pictures, music and video files that i had opened by double-clicking in the CAJA
file manager.
i found a solution to manually delete the file “recently-used.xbel
” in the “.local/share
”-directory.
this file is generated automatically with every new login, and after opening new files all the new files show up in the new “recently-used” file again. so this is no permanent solution.
in DCONF-editor
i found parameters for GNOME (not MATE), which i changed, but these are NOT respected by MATE:
/org/GNOME/desktop/privacy:
- old-files-age: 0
- recent-files-max-age: 0
- remember-app-usage: OFF
- remember-recent-files: OFF
- remove-old-temp-files: ON
- remove-old-trash-files: ON
in DCONF-editor i found NO corresponding settings like:
/org/MATE/desktop/privacy
/org/MATE/privacy
i also searched in the Ubuntu-Mate-Forum and there was mentioned that the Ubuntu-DCONF-editor has these corresponding Mate-settings.
so i assume that there are different versions of DCONF-editor in Manjaro and Ubuntu.
would anyone know how i could permanently switch off the “recently used files” and “remember-app-usage” in our MANJARO MATE-Desk?
i am a NOOB and would need a rather easy solution…
if you know any other non-needed functionalities to switch off, then please suggest them also here.
Big thanks!
