"History" tab -> Kickoff, not Kicker. (In reply to Eike Hein from comment #1) > "History" tab -> Kickoff, not Kicker. Thank you. Any chance you may know what component I am missing with 'Failed to find service for QUrl("file:///home/hussam/.local/share/RecentDocuments/snapshot3.png.desktop")'? Someone on irc said it works for him/her. Created attachment 94758 [details]

/home/hussam/.local/share/RecentDocuments/snapshot3.png.desktop
Note that this happens with any recent entry. This one is just an example. Also it is not possible anymore to clear document history... which is a big privacy concern (as I reported in the forum and as bug before)... Right click on the history list gives me the options to "add to favorites" and "clear application history"... document history is not mentioned, so it's getting longer and longer. But as reported by the OP nothing will open on click... I have the same problem. Recent Documents work in Kicker and the Dashboard launcher but not Kickoff. kickoff apparently uses a different type of storage than kicker/dashboard. Well, it shouldn't... :-( RecentDocuments (history) are being created and stored as .desktop files and not symlinks to actual file. This is a HUGE PROBLEM!! can not click and open 'RecentDocument' if it is no longer a 'text' document or in above example an image.png file... ALL dot DeskTop files are 'text' and are NOT the original doc or a link to. For 6 + years I've used a 'widget' folder in my taskbar to display the content of ~/.kde4/share/apps/RecentDocuments/ ... Not that is Useless. Files still display, but are ALL .desktop and not links to original, previously opened file. Not good! Landis. Created attachment 94847 [details]
RecentDocument's version of a png image file
This is what is in RecentDocuments instead of a link to 'core.png'
Same here (Plasma 5.4.1 on Arch Linux). This is what "journalct -f" prints out when trying to open a file from history: Okt 05 20:16:22 haspl kdeinit5[4978]: The desktop entry file "/home/.../.local/share/RecentDocuments/Harvey.jpg.desktop" has Type= "Link" instead of "Application" or "Service" Okt 05 20:16:22 haspl kdeinit5[4978]: Access to ' "/home/.../.local/share/RecentDocuments/Harvey.jpg.desktop" ' denied, not owned by root, executable flag not set. Is this possibly related? https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=235457#c14 Plasma 5.5.0 solved this for me. Thanks for your feedback. Feel free to re-open if the issue persists in 5.5. |
Under plasma 5.4, clicking on 'Application Launcher -> History -> some file' doesn't open that file. Terminal says: Opening item with URL "/home/hussam/.local/share/RecentDocuments/snapshot3.png.desktop" Failed to find service for QUrl("file:///home/hussam/.local/share/RecentDocuments/snapshot3.png.desktop") Reproducible: Always
