Re: recentf: abbreviate paths? tilde for home folder?

[David Reitter]

Reiner, Kevin:

(setq recentf-menu-filter 'recentf-show-basenames  )

is exactly what I wanted, thanks very much.

Now, I've changed that function to produce the same syntax as used  
for buffer names (or in the buffers menu - don't know which one it  
is) with the "--" instead of showing the path in parenthesis. I  
wanted to use uniquify to produce exactly the same behavior (i.e.  
abbreviated paths where necessary), but it looks like uniquify only  
works with buffer names and not simply with an arbitrary list of path  
names :-(

Thanks again
David
