Add *.phatch files to the system recent file history

I don't believe there is a desktop/user wide "recently used files" on the Mac (although I think there is in the Windows Start Menu). So most applications have a File/Open Recent -> menu of files.

In general things like "recent files" are stored in ~/Library/Preferences/com.company.product.plist for individual applications. The plist file can read and written from the command-line with the defaults command (or you can process the plist (xml) if you prefer). Using the command 'defaults read' or 'defaults write' is much preferred as it understands the possible heirarchy (chain) of preference files (the ~/Library, then /Library and who knows in future, it may look somewhere on the network).

Stani doesn't believe wxPython provides a cross-platform mechanism for this.

Use pyxdg:

Add pyxdg as a dependency.

-> pyxdg uses .recently-used which is deprecated -> use gtk recent manager
