"recent apps" menu
Another phenomenon. keepassxc is well added but if you click on it then it is not launched ! Cannot reproduce the issue; works for me. >Another phenomenon. > keepassxc is well added but if you click on it then it is not launched ! That sounds like https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=449345 From my testing it seems like all apps that are part of the "favorites" in kicker/kickoff are not added to the history (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #5) > From my testing it seems like all apps that are part of the "favorites" in > kicker/kickoff are not added to the history I don't get any "favorites" menu. I don't know this feature ! Furthermore, I have just discovered it with your comment. "Favorites" is the column of icons on the left Created attachment 146679 [details] kde menu (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #7) > "Favorites" is the column of icons on the left I get no "favorites".

favorites highlighted
These are the favorites, and Libreoffice Write is one of them
I confirm there is only a problem with "writer", if this is a problem. (In reply to Nicolas Fella from comment #5) > From my testing it seems like all apps that are part of the "favorites" in > kicker/kickoff are not added to the history Can reproduce that. A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/5584 Git commit 0b25ddc9ed0a81f2fb9b46c69e5a79b1ab7bee41 by Christoph Wolk. Committed on 02/12/2025 at 12:03. Pushed by cwo into branch 'master'. applets/kicker: show all apps in history 4399573d (in 2015) introduced a filter in the history model to not show favorites in recently used applications. In principle, this makes sense (and apparently was requested at the time, though I could not find the relevant feature requests) - as favorites tend to be often used, including them makes the recent application history mostly a less easily accessed copy of the favorites list. But this is opaque to users and even developers, who often perceive these omissions as a bug, and there does not seem to be a concise and clear wording that would make the intentionality of this omission apparent - labeling menus or sections "Recent Applications excluding Favorites" is terribly awkward. Instead, be less clever and just do the obvious thing that the labels History and Recent Applications suggest: show the history of the most recently launched applications.
