Description Todd 2010-07-13 22:06:49 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

The Recently Used list in the application launcher shows a list of files you have recently opened.  However, this only seems to include files accessed through the file manager (or file picker dialog).  It does not include applications opened through an application's own "Recently Used" list.  

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Open okular.  Select the File Menu -> Recently Used and then open a file that does not appear in your "Recently Used" list (if necessary open a bunch of other files to push it off the list).  Then close okular.

Actual Results:  
The file you opened does not appear in the Recently Used list.

Expected Results:  
The file does appear in the Recently Used list.

It isn't just okular, this happens with Kate as well.

See my comment on bko#194003, the root cause of this report is the same as that one.

Hello!

This bug report was filed for KDE Plasma 4, which reached end-of-support status in August 2015. KDE Plasma 5's desktop shell has been almost completely rewritten for better performance and usability, so it is likely that this bug has already been resolved in Plasma 5.

Accordingly, we hope you understand why we must close this bug report. If the issue described  here is still present in KDE Plasma 5.12 or later, please feel free to open a new ticket in the "plasmashell" product after reading https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved/Bug_Reporting

If you would like to get involved in KDE's bug triaging effort so that future mass bug closes like this are less likely, please read https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Bug_Triaging

Thanks for your understanding!
