Well I took some time to revisit the Zeitgeist helper for docky…
Now the jump lists provide you with “Most Used Items” withing the last 2 weeks plus “Other Recently Used Items” that don’t appear in the most used. Its not the biggest hack but I find it awesome for myself. I really can get almost 50% of the things i want by just right clicking an app in Docky. It the app is closed or the document is not opened you have a good chance of finding it in the jumplist by just right clicking on the app responsible for it…
Here are some screenies

Nice wallpaper. Please can I have a link or filename so that I can track it down?
Docky is the new gnome3
Thank you so much for this docky update! Long live Zeitgeist!
PS: +1 for the wallpaper, and would be nice if you could also share your theme
What’s the menubar applet?
Theme: Elementary http://danrabbit.deviantart.com/ https://launchpad.net/~elementaryart/+archive/ppa

Firefox uses an algorithm that combines frequency and recency. They call it ‘frecency’. Does Zeitgeist do something similar? If it did, those two categories could be combined into one. That would reduce some clutter and also eliminate the need to look in two separate lists. And that list could be improved further with the addition of pins or stars (visible only on hover for unpinned/unstarred files), so that each application could have a list of favourite documents exposed to Docky.
@David Yeah I thought about that issue… The next version of the docky-zeitgeist-helper will have options to make u choose what u want to view “Recently and Most Used” or the “Frecency” one… I already have an Idea how to implement it.
Quality work, Seif! Unfortunately, the “Recently Used” journalling in Docky has never worked for me, even though it’s enabled in my helpers list. How do I fix this?

@Izo the journal is gonna get a remake… just disable it until i blog about it
Are these changes in the public repository? I’ve checked the last changes on launchpad page of docky and I can’t find related changes.
Very nice!
It does take a lot of screen real estate, though. It would be nice to have a “Recent” menu item, and have all that information pop-up only if the user selects it.
Awesome work, though!
Please give some short instructions what I need and where from to get Docky to look like that.
Cheers Josh
very nice!
but I like the idea of the frecency at most, i love it in firefox and it’d be great also in the desktop
Nice feature, though could it look any more like a MacOS clone?
Hi there,
I have to say the menubar fonts are the most beautiful example of font rendering I’ve ever seen on a Linux desktop. What font/size is that? I’m absolutely floored by it.
wow zeitgeist is one of the few innovative features to come out of Gnome 3.0. Put it’s sad it needed to two non gnome applications Docky and Nautilus Elementary mod to bring out the usefulness of zeitgeist
I think Mac OS X is a beautiful desktop as well.
Great wallpaper, thank you.
