Bug ID: 38285
           Summary: integrate with freedesktop bookmark standard (recent
                    files)
           Product: Wine
           Version: 1.7.38
          Hardware: x86
                OS: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: shell32

Selecting files by navigating through a deeply nested folder hierarchy is
cumbersome because the Wine/Windows folder hierarchy adds a level of complexity
on top of the system's hierarchy. Instead it is more convenient and efficient
to access files by "recently used".

Better usability and system integration could be achieved if Wine would make
use of the system's "recently used" files in file open dialogs, explorer, and
evt. when Windows applications add links to recently used files in
%USERPROFILE%\Recent.

Use cases:

1. I created a file using a native application, then I want to open and
continue working on it using a Wine application. I would like to click 'File →
Open' and in the left sidebar of the file selector dialog choose the 'Recent'
list and see there also those files that were recently used in native
applications.

2. I created a file using a Wine application, then I want to access it using a
native application, equally in the recent list in the File manager (nautilus,
dolphin) as well as in file open dialogs.

On Linux, this can be done in a cross-desktop manner by following the free
desktop bookmark standard, which is used by Gnome, KDE, etc.:
