Correction: Smultron Touch is Really OS X Touch

I posted a few days ago about a nice little UI touch in the menu for Smultron, in which an additional bit of metadata is added to duplicate file names in the Open Recent menu to help distinguish them.

Well, after receiving a friendly email from Benjamin Stiglitz over at Apple, it turns out that this is an OS X wide behavior. Any app written in Cocoa and running in OS X will do this automatically.

So, hats off to the AppKit team at Apple for this one. Good stuff.
