# filter-recent

|
A utility to filter recent items from GNOME applications.
|
|
|
|
GNOME applications keep a list of recently accessed URIs (documents, RDP sessions, ...) in the `~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel` file. Individual applications (e.g. `evince`) don't offer a level of control over this file, and if you are using GNOME applications on a non-GNOME desktop (e.g. Xfce) then other methods of removing entries are not necessarily easily available.
|
|
|
|
The `filter-recent` utility allows you to remove multiple entry ranges from this file, either on-demand, or automatically as part of e.g. `.bashrc` or `.profile`.
|
|
|
|
