Description Wolfgang Bauer 2013-08-27 10:41:05 UTC 
The list of recently used documents (as shown by Kickoff on the "Recently Used" tab f.e.) is saved in ~/.kde4/share/applnk, which seems wrong (should be ~/.kde4/share/apps/RecentDocuments/). As a consequence, Kickoff doesn't show the new entries anymore.

According to the file dates in both directories, this apparently started after upgrading KDE to 4.11RC1 (I used 4.10.5 before, where it worked), so this seems to be a regression in 4.11.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open a file, f.e. in dolphin

Actual Results:  
File is not shown in the "Recently Used Documents" list in Kickoff.
A *.desktop file is created in ~/.kde4/share/applnk/.

Expected Results:  
File should be shown on top of the "Recently Used Documents" list in Kickoff.
A *.desktop file should be created in ~/.kde4/share/apps/RecentDocuments/.

This also happens for a new user, so it should not be a configuration issue.

I'm not the only one having this problem, see http://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=154&t=117114, where a user reported this for Kubuntu, so this shouldn't be a packaging bug either.

Right. That commit there fixed the issue for me.
Thanks for the pointer!
