GtkRecentFilter

## GtkRecentFilter GtkRecentFilter — A filter for selecting a subset of recently used files |

## Includes

    #include <gtk/gtk.h>

## Description

A GtkRecentFilter can be used to restrict the files being shown in a GtkRecentChooser. Files can be filtered based on their name (with `gtk_recent_filter_add_pattern()`), on their mime type (with `gtk_file_filter_add_mime_type()`), on the application that has registered them (with `gtk_recent_filter_add_application()`), or by a custom filter function (with `gtk_recent_filter_add_custom()`).

Filtering by mime type handles aliasing and subclassing of mime types; e.g. a filter for text/plain also matches a file with mime type application/rtf, since application/rtf is a subclass of text/plain. Note that GtkRecentFilter allows wildcards for the subtype of a mime type, so you can e.g. filter for image/*.

Normally, filters are used by adding them to a GtkRecentChooser, see `gtk_recent_chooser_add_filter()`, but it is also possible to manually use a filter on a file with `gtk_recent_filter_filter()`.

Recently used files are supported since GTK+ 2.10.
