I agree with Mikkel that wildcards is a wrong approach...
Adding new resulttypes is the best solution...

This is a feature request, please reassign wherever you see fit :-)

Currently recent files are tracked as items. Recent directories would also be useful to track.

E.g. I edit files in geany, compile code that produce an executable that need to be debugged in Nemiver. When Nemiver is opened it would save a lot of time if the directory was available under a "recent directories" heading somewhere.

Thanks,
Conrad
