Hi!

The recently opened documents list is not saved automatically, so every time I start kate the menu contains the documents I opened many years ago when I saved the default session.

The recent doc list is saved only when the session is saved to. I think it should be saved automatically on exit.

I have a wish too: it would be great if the saved documents would be put in the recent list too, not only the opened ones. I always have to search for files I saved from kate, because I can't remember the place and name I saved them to.

I use kate in a daily basis for work for many years (to write technical docs in markup). It's a very good program.

Thanks in advance,
Balázs

The recend documents list is stored with the session, so if you let kate create a new session on startup or not save it upon shutdown the document list won't be saved. There's a separate report for changing that, hence closing as dupe.
