Description Teunizz 2010-02-03 09:31:09 UTC

Version:           3.3.1 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    openSUSE RPMs

After opening a file, you see the name of the file in File -> Open Recent.
After closing Kate and starting Kate again, the recent file list is empty (check File -> Open Recent).

This works just fine as long as you set kate to re-open the last-used session upon start. If you set kate up to always start with an empty session you'll always have an empty list there as the list of recently-opened files is stored in the session. There's a wish open to change that, closing as dupe of that one.

Thanks Andreas for your comment.

There is a problem with your solution. After I set set kate to re-open the last-used session upon start, it opens all the files which were opened at the time I quited Kated. That is not what I want.

What I want is that Kate starts without opening a file and with the recent files present. how do I do that?

Then you'll either have to remember closing all documents before exiting from kate or wait until 182759 is implemented. There's no other way to achieve what you want.
