Hello,

recent items extension has seen an update for gnome 46, yet it is not offered by default. It needs installation. As a result download the code from here: https://github.com/bananenfisch/RecentItems
extract the compressed folder and place it under ./local/share/gnome-shell/extensions.

Rename the folder to: RecentItems@bananenfisch.net

and in order to avoid the error:
"~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/RecentItems@bananenfisch.net/schemas/gschemas.compiled": open() failed: No such file or directory

issue the commands:
export GSETTINGS_SCHEMA_DIR=~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/RecentItems\@bananenfisch.net/schemas
glib-compile-schemas ~/.local/share/gnome-shell/extensions/RecentItems\@bananenfisch.net/schemas

It has some drawbacks at the time being, yet it is working more or less.

Regards!
