Retire @bool recent_files_group_always?

[Edward K. Ream]

Rev 3afff37 fixes #1188 by undoing a change related to #1121: unicode characters in command names.

This new fix is unlikely to cause problems.

However, I don't see the purpose of setting @bool recent_files_group_always to True.  It seems mostly to clutter the recent files menu.  Can anyone explain why this setting is useful?

I have a half memory that this was supposed to group recent files by folder. This might be useful, but the present code doesn't do that.  I'll make a note in #1188.  Eventually, I should either retire @bool recent_files_group_always or make it work.

I use the setting because I have a number of .leo files with the same name, but different file paths. By grouping them, it reduces clutter and makes it easier to see which path version I'm opening.

It won't be the 'end of the world' to deprecate the option, but it is useful. Perhaps I'm the only one...

At last I understand.  If I understand correctly, this means that #1188 can be closed.

Yes, makes sense to me. Seems to work as expected now. Thanks for the fix!

You're welcome.  Thanks for the confirmation.
