[Bug 1280070] [NEW] Dash recent list is not actually with recent programs and files

 

Public bug reported:

I am not sure if it is a but or just something I do not understand. In
my understanding, when I press Ubuntu/Win/Dash button, the list of
programs and files listed there should be either the most frequently
used or the last ones used programs / files. I have just restarted the
computer, so this is a new session and the list in dash is anything else
but like that.


In the attached screenshot you see the first file/folder "RO.A.D.2013.40". I have no idea when I last opened that folder, but I think it has passed a few months. The programs list is not better. If I were to get the most frequently used programs, I would have got there Firefox, Chromium, Filezilla, Nautilus, Terminal, Ubuntu Software Updater, KSysGuard. Pretty much the same list for the last used programs. If it helps, many of those programs have shortcuts on the launcher bar.

Why do I get those in Dash? I cannot remember the last time I used
Security&Privacy. Last time I used Inkscape could be one week ago, maybe
more.
