I appears that Sublime Text is not storing its list of recent documents in the default OS X location.
I am using Alfred as my application launcher; it allows me to access any application’s recent documents list, but the list is always empty for Sublime Text. Whereas for other applications their list of recent documents shows up in Alfred correctly, as it does in the applications themselves.
Cheers,
Diego
Oh god yes please add this. You’d need to populate ~/Library/Preferences/com.sublimetext.2.LSSharedFileList.plist with the list of recent files. Doing so would enable apps like Alfred and LaunchBar to access recent items, which was the only way I opened files in TextMate, and would also allow OS X’s Exposé feature to show recent files when you invoke single-app Exposé mode.
wonder if we could create package for this. I have done something similar for ubuntu
github.com/jfromaniello/sublime-unity-recents
but I don’t know how the create a plist from python… What I did was to issue a command
plutil -p ~/Library/Preferences/com.microsoft.rdc.LSSharedFileList.plistand this print something like this:

As far I can see plutil can also convert from json to plist.
I assume the Icon is the hex of the image but I don’t know what bookmark means, by sure that thing should contain the full path to the file or something like that.
