Javier,
I had hacked the recentf.el so that it takes into account
the file-name-history variable. Thus all files opened using
the find-file (and it's variants) also get added to the
recent files list.
My changes were top of the following version of recentf.el :
;; Author: David Ponce <david@dponce.com>
;; Created: July 19 1999
;; Keywords: customization
Here are the changed defuns:
(defun recentf-add-file (filename)
"Add or move FILENAME at the beginning of `recentf-list'.
Does nothing if FILENAME matches one of the `recentf-exclude' regexps."
(let ((filename (expand-file-name filename)))
(when (recentf-include-p filename)
(setq recentf-list (cons filename (delete filename recentf-list)))
(setq file-name-history (cons filename (delete filename file-name-history)))
(setq recentf-update-menu-p t))))
:
:
(defun recentf-find-file (filename)
"Edit file FILENAME using `find-file'.
If FILENAME is not readable it is removed from `recentf-list'."
(if (file-readable-p filename)
(progn
(find-file filename)
(setq file-name-history (cons filename file-name-history))
)
(progn
(message "File `%s' not found." filename)
(setq recentf-list (delete filename recentf-list))
(setq recentf-update-menu-p t))))
:
:
(defun recentf-add-file (filename)
"Add or move FILENAME at the beginning of `recentf-list'.
Does nothing if FILENAME matches one of the `recentf-exclude' regexps."
(let ((filename (expand-file-name filename)))
(when (recentf-include-p filename)
(setq recentf-list (cons filename (delete filename recentf-list)))
(setq file-name-history (cons filename (delete filename file-name-history)))
(setq recentf-update-menu-p t))))
HTH,
