RecentFilterRef

public struct RecentFilterRef : RecentFilterProtocol, GWeakCapturing

A GtkRecentFilter can be used to restrict the files being shown in a GtkRecentChooser. Files can be filtered based on their name (with gtk_recent_filter_add_pattern()), on their mime type (with gtk_file_filter_add_mime_type()), on the application that has registered them (with gtk_recent_filter_add_application()), or by a custom filter function (with gtk_recent_filter_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 GtkRecentFilter 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 GtkRecentChooser, see gtk_recent_chooser_add_filter(), but it is also possible to manually use a filter on a file with gtk_recent_filter_filter().

Recently used files are supported since GTK+ 2.10.

GtkRecentFilter as GtkBuildable

The GtkRecentFilter implementation of the GtkBuildable interface supports adding rules using the <mime-types>, <patterns> and <applications> elements and listing the rules within. Specifying a <mime-type>, <pattern> or <application> has the same effect as calling gtk_recent_filter_add_mime_type(), gtk_recent_filter_add_pattern() or gtk_recent_filter_add_application().

An example of a UI definition fragment specifying GtkRecentFilter rules:

<object class="GtkRecentFilter">
  <mime-types>
    <mime-type>text/plain</mime-type>
    <mime-type>image/png</mime-type>
  </mime-types>
  <patterns>
    <pattern>*.txt</pattern>
    <pattern>*.png</pattern>
  </patterns>
  <applications>
    <application>gimp</application>
    <application>gedit</application>
    <application>glade</application>
  </applications>
</object>

The RecentFilterRef type acts as a lightweight Swift reference to an underlying GtkRecentFilter instance. It exposes methods that can operate on this data type through RecentFilterProtocol conformance. Use RecentFilterRef only as an unowned reference to an existing GtkRecentFilter instance.

  • ptr 
    Untyped pointer to the underlying `GtkRecentFilter` instance.

    For type-safe access, use the generated, typed pointer recent_filter_ptr property instead.

  • Creates a new `GtkRecentFilter` with no rules added to it.

    Such filter does not accept any recently used resources, so is not particularly useful until you add rules with gtk_recent_filter_add_pattern(), gtk_recent_filter_add_mime_type(), gtk_recent_filter_add_application(), gtk_recent_filter_add_age(). To create a filter that accepts any recently used resource, use: (C Language Example):

    GtkRecentFilter *filter = gtk_recent_filter_new ();
gtk_recent_filter_add_pattern (filter, "*");
