Hello Stefan, Lars,

Regarding the last changes done to recentf.el (commit 32906819ad to 
master, which adds 'recentf-show-abbreviated' as a possible value for 
'recentf-menu-filter', I am not sure this change is actually needed. It 
could even be confusing with the option `recentf-filename-handlers', 
that can be used to achieve the same at a lower level.

You can customize `recentf-filename-handlers' to add handler
'abbreviate-file-name' in order to get abbreviated file names in the 
recentf menu (in my local setup I also added `file-true-name').

Make be it would be enough to change the default value of
`recentf-filename-handlers' ?

Just wanted to let you know ;-)

Thanks!
David
