It was implemented for gnucash 2.6.7. However I can confirm it doesn't seem to 
work on gnucash 2.6.21 on Windows. It does for gnucash 3.8.

You can get extract the same information via the Windows registry editor 
(regedit.exe).

In that tool, you can navigate to
Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\GSettings\org\gnucash\history

And under that node you will find the names of all files in the most recently 
used list in GnuCash. "file0" will be the one you had opened most recently, 
"file1" the one you last opened just before "file0" and so on.
