Severity: wishlist

I just pushed commit 32906819ad to master, which adds
'recentf-show-abbreviated' as a possible value for
'recentf-menu-filter'.  This basically just makes the menu use e.g.
"~/foo" instead of "/home/skangas/foo".

I think this would be a strictly better default than what we have now,
so I suggest we change it.  I'm happy to flip the switch and update
the NEWS entry accordingly.

Please see the attached before/after screenshots.

Yes, looks much better.  Please go ahead and flip the switch.

Hello Stefan, Lars,

Regarding the last changes done to recentf.el (commit 32906819ad to 
master, which adds 'recentf-show-abbreviated' as a possible value for 
'recentf-menu-filter', I am not sure this change is actually needed. It 
could even be confusing with the option `recentf-filename-handlers', 
that can be used to achieve the same at a lower level.

You can customize `recentf-filename-handlers' to add handler
'abbreviate-file-name' in order to get abbreviated file names in the 
recentf menu (in my local setup I also added `file-true-name').

Make be it would be enough to change the default value of
`recentf-filename-handlers' ?

Just wanted to let you know ;-)

Thanks!
David

I think you are correct, so I have reverted the relevant changes and
changed that default instead.  I completely overlooked this somehow.
Thanks!
