[Feature Request] Tidy Recent Items

This is one I've currently been trying to do via script, but would be a good feature for Knox.

Basically the idea is that when a vault is unmounted, the recent items are cleared of anything that was contained within the vault.



This would be useful as a flag to prevent recent items being shown, such that anyone can trivially see what you've been accessing, even if you've hidden it away in an encrypted volume. It might be a good idea for this to be default behaviour, but a flag will be good as it allows the user to decide if they want the recent items to be usable, since they do include a convenient way to mount the vault as well.





Basically it's a case of looking through the recent items (.plist in ~/Library/Preferences), though I don't know anything about the format and how'd you go about decoding the aliases listed there and how to find out where they point to. I also don't know if there's a good convention for recent items stored on a per application basis, as apps like Pages etc. all do this.

    Hi Haravikk,



    That's a great idea. We'll look into this for a possible future update to Knox. Thanks for bringing this up.
