Places > Recent should have some means for users to config how many or how long recent files are displayed

[Doug McMahon]

Atm it seems to just continually add to.
Would have liked to see somewhere to set -
gtk-recent-files-max-age=n
gtk-recent-files-limit=n

(in a local gtk3 settings.ini only gtk-recent-files-max-age=0 has any effect which is counter-productive to say the least

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. The issue you are reporting is an upstream one and it would be nice if somebody having it could send the bug to the developers of the software by following the instructions at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME. If you have done so, please tell us the number of the upstream bug (or the link), so we can add a bugwatch that will inform us about its status. Thanks in advance.
