Docky Recent Documents doesn't work. [SOLVED]

[2briancox]

I have Linux Mint running on 3 computers right now. All have Docky installed. Whenever I enable the "Recent Documents" docklet on any of them, I get ... nothing.

I don't see any recent documents icon. And recent documents are not added to the right click option of program icons such as OOo. Does it do anything? Do I have something installed incorrectly?

Any ideas would be appreciated.

I would be surprised if no one else had this problem ...

I'm 3 for 3.

...Maybe someone more experienced could suggest something that I could try to figure out why this is happening ... ?

Hey Brian!

I noticed the same.

I am not using docky now, changed to AWN, but I believe that I got "Recent Documents" to work in Mint by using the latest BETA version of Docky. It was 2.0 (I forget, exactly which version 2.0.6, 2.07?). It never worked in earlier versions. Might work for you?

Hi.
Yes - I am using the development branch of Docky and can confirm that the Recent Documents Zeitgeist helper is working fine and has been stable for some time. Very useful it is to.
You can download the PPA via Ubuntu Tweak if you have that installed or you can add the following PPA via software sources:
ppa:docky-core/ppa

Yeah. It works in the unstable branch. No problems with 2.10 yet at all. Solved for now.
