Comment 17 for bug 8949

Removing items from the list before it's displayed is not really possible. Think about remote shares that you have not saved the password for, for example. And even if the file is local the file may disappear after you have open the menu (check then act problem). Actually even if we check the file right after you selected it if it exists or not, even then it might be removed before the application has started (yes, I know it's a small chance but it still can happen - eg your doing a large move on a older that hasn't finished....). So maybe the problem is within the application themselves on how they should handle files that doesn't exists? Gedit for instance creates a new file, OOo says the file doesn't exist, Eog somehow says it doesn't exists.
