Hello there,
I'm having a little problem with accessing the recent items of the
Finder: The parameter list that should contain that information
(com.apple.recentitems.plist) is empty under root. (It does work in
other accounts.) Root does have its recent items listed in the menu -
it just does not dump them into the parameter list. I'm wondering
whether this is intentional or an oversight.
I've looked at the header file for Launchservices (which manages the
recent items), but whatever functions the Finder uses to get at this
information are not declared.
Therefore the question: is there any way to get access to that recent
items information under root?
Why are you logging-in as root? There's no need to do so; sudo will
let you execute the occasional command (even GUI apps) as root (or even
start a root shell using "sudo -s") without any of the risk associated
with having your root user enabled and logged-in to the GUI.
Not storing recent items for root sounds like it might be a security
measure to me, but in any case it wouldn't matter if you didn't log in
as root.
Kind regards,
Alastair.
