Description Norberto Bensa 2021-04-03 20:20:24 UTC

SUMMARY

Just a few minutes ago I became aware that Dolphin saves recent documents and locations; while I think it is a good idea and it helps in usability terms, it's also a privacy invassion.

I would like to be able to disable collecting this information in Dolphin, KDE/Plasma, and all its applications.

Please note that I want to disable this functionality, hide it is not enough.

Thanks

I hope there can be a meta bug which tracks issue reports related to recent files, locations and documents.

Some examples:
- Bug 355399
- Bug 423732
- Bug 425755

In fact this option already exists in the Activities KCM:

System Settings > Workspace Behavior > Activities > Privacy > Do Not Remember

The problem is, this is pretty un-discoverable. I don't think most people would guess that the setting lives on the Activities page. That's a UI issue though that we'll track separately with Bug 416271.

Thank you Nate. 

Yes, and in fact, I was looking in System Settings before my original bug report, but yes, the option is totally undiscoverable :-)

I'll subscribe to #416271

Thanks!
