Gtk.RecentFilter

const Gtk = imports.gi.Gtk;

let recent_filter = new Gtk.RecentFilter();
  

A Gtk.RecentFilter can be used to restrict the files being shown in a Gtk.RecentChooser. Files can be filtered based on their name (with Gtk.add_pattern), on their mime type (with Gtk.FileFilter.prototype.add_mime_type), on the application that has registered them (with Gtk.add_application), or by a custom filter function (with Gtk.add_custom).

Filtering by mime type handles aliasing and subclassing of mime types; e.g. a filter for text/plain also matches a file with mime type application/rtf, since application/rtf is a subclass of text/plain. Note that Gtk.RecentFilter allows wildcards for the subtype of a mime type, so you can e.g. filter for image/<!-- -->*.

Normally, filters are used by adding them to a Gtk.RecentChooser, see Gtk.RecentChooser.prototype.add_filter, but it is also possible to manually use a filter on a file with Gtk.filter.

Recently used files are supported since GTK+ 2.10.

<refsect2 id="GtkRecentFilter-BUILDER-UI"> <title>GtkRecentFilter as GtkBuildable</title> <para> The GtkRecentFilter implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports adding rules using the &lt;mime-types&gt;, &lt;patterns&gt; and &lt;applications&gt; elements and listing the rules within. Specifying a &lt;mime-type&gt;, &lt;pattern&gt; or &lt;application&gt; is the same as calling Gtk.add_mime_type, Gtk.add_pattern or Gtk.add_application.
