About the dash

Currently, the only way to avoid this is to install the gnome-activity-journal PPA, open it and add entries to its blacklist. Here comes the details:

Install the gnome-activity-journal PPA (the default in the 11.04 repository does NOT work):
sudo add-apt-repository ppa:zeitgeist/ppa
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install zeitgeist gnome-activity-journal

Open gnome-activity-journal PPA -> Open “Preferences” -> go to the “Blacklist” tab and add entries such as:
file:///home/USERNAME/public_html/*
and
file:///home/USERNAME/Downloads/PORNFOLDER/*

Later a much better GUI called zeitgeist-global-privacy should makes this much easier.

Oh so you thought you were funny there?

When will zeitgeist-global-privacy?

And yes, it's a bit hard to take you seriously when you write something like that:
file:///home/USERNAME/Downloads/PORNFOLDER/*

Thanks Ted

Please explain what isn't working, is it reproducable, because here it works fine.
If you reported a bug please provide bug number, thanks.

@ Ted
There is no recently_used_file anymore.
Log files of zeitgeist are in ~/.cache/zeitgeist and in ~/.local/share/zeitgeist.
