Is there any other ''recent file viewer'' besides Gnome Activity Journal? Since GAJ doesn't seem to work using Xfce.

  • Do you want a GUI or will a script (terminal) do? –  Sep 18 '13 at 02:22
  • Sorry for the late response! It doesn't really matter to me, terminal is fine. – Kelly Sep 26 '13 at 02:13
  • There's a nice thread here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2125130&p=12556637#post12556637 with code you can modify to your needs.

I don't know if this would meet your needs, but in Xfce you have the Places plugin that can show a list of recent files.

After adding it to a panel, simply right-click on the plug-in, access Properties, then enable Show recent documents. You may even configure the number of recent documents to include in that list. Then you can access that by left-click on the panel plug-in, then Recent Documents.
