.recently-used.xbel

I have noticed with the new version of the Gimp a file called .xbel is constantly created after I open an image. It is in C:\Documents and Setting\owner in windowx xp. How do I stop this behavior?

I am not sure about windows, but why would you want to stop it?

What happens when you open .recently-used.xbel in an editor, like Notepad?

I don't see why you would not want this file to be written. After all it serves a rather useful purpose. But if you really dislike this feature, unset save-document-history in your gimprc or simply disable it in the Preferences dialog.

Well when I open the file it has a link to freedesktop.org --- Owen wrote:

OK,

So if you went to the freedesktop.org site, http://standards.freedesktop.org/shared-mime-info-spec/latest/ it may provide some information?

Sorry, that is the specification for the old format that was supported in GIMP 2.2. The spec for the xbel format is at http://devel.emmanuelebassi.net/papers/bookmark-spec-0.7.html

The reason for inquiring about this file is because when open it has the following:



I am not sure of why this is necessary for a file that is keeping track of what I opened. So I guess I am just a little concerned or overly paranoid.

Hm... what exactly is the "this"?
