How do you think initialize file-name-history with the
value of `recentf-list'? So you can do C-x C-f M-p M-p M-p...
just after launching emacs.
(M-x describe-variable recentf-list: "List of recently opened files.")

Please, not unless the user already has recentf-mode turned on!

Sounds good, but it should be done in recentf.el, not in simple.el.

Or if desktop.el has saved values.

Funny, I had exactly the same idea some days ago and thus added the
following to my .emacs:
(require 'recentf)
(setq file-name-history (append recentf-list file-name-history))
I also wanted files opened via Drag'n'Drop or emacsclient to
appear in file-name-history:
(add-hook 'find-file-hook (defun nq-find-file-add-to-history-hook ()
(when (and (buffer-file-name)
(not (member (buffer-file-name) file-name-history)))
(push (buffer-file-name) file-name-history))))
Well, everything seems to work as it should and I'm really happy :-)
ciao,

Heh, I've had something similar in my .emacs for _years_...
[In fact I suggested it be added to the defaults a long time ago, I'm
not sure whatever happened to that...]

What about using session.el to keep file-name-history and
many other things accross Emacs sessions?
I use it with recentf and it rocks ;-)
session is available at <http://emacs-session.sourceforge.net/>.

I also wanted files opened via Drag'n'Drop or emacsclient to
appear in file-name-history:
That might be a good idea too, but I think it is better to change
server.el and the Drag'n'Drop handler to put the names into
file-name-history. Would someone like to try that?
