Recent Files

[menagerie198]

Is it possible in DV to reproduce the function of the Recent File plugin, ie to list recently opened, but not necessarily modified?

Is recent files a core Obsidian plugin? If so, I can probably expose it as Dataview metadata.

Hi all, somewhat similarly, I currently have a basic DV table as follows. What is the simplest way to instead sort by or add a column for Recent Files?

dataview
table
	file.mtime AS "Date Modified", file.etags AS "Tag"
from ""
sort file.mtime DESC 
limit 10

@blacksmithgu Hi, I'm asking a lot here but would it be possible in a future update to somehow include this 'Open time' as an additional implicit field? e.g. file.otime. Even if it required the Recent Files plugin as a pre-requisite?

This use case is rare enough that the workaround should be okay for now. @dingsw1, I'm sorry I never replied! I've need to work on a task tracker haha.

Thank you very much @AB1908, by the way, is there a link to the instructions about app.workspace?

The closest you'll get are the Obsidian API docs.
