I’ve just committed my development trunk of the BookmarkFile and RecentManager objects. The former now supports custom icons for every bookmark inside the file, using the icon element; the latter, finally, supports group names for every recently used item.
I’m writing a small page for documenting how to port an application from the old EggRecent code to the new RecentManager, and also how to use the new RecentChooser widgets.
On a related note, I’ve been contacted by other developers interested about the RecentManager/RecentChooser code; expect more news soon.
