Yes.

I'll add a customvariable for it.

This script should do it.

#!/usr/local/bin/jed-script

require("gdbm");

define convert_db()
{
   variable indb, outdb, key, value, v;
   
   indb = gdbm_open(path_concat(getenv("HOME"), ".jedstate.db"), GDBM_READER, 0600);
   if (indb == NULL)
     verror(gdbm_error());
   outdb = gdbm_open(path_concat(Jed_Home_Directory, "recent_db"), GDBM_WRCREAT, 0600);
   if (outdb == NULL)
     verror(gdbm_error());
   
   foreach key, value (indb) using ("keys", "values")
     {
	v = strchop(value, '\t', 0);
	outdb[key]=sprintf("%s:%s:%s", v[2], v[0], v[1]);
     }
}
convert_db();
