Description Szollosi-Nagy Balint 2024-10-06 21:59:05 UTC 
SUMMARY



STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Click New to create an empty document
2. Type "blabla" so that it has some content
3. Save to disk to your home directory for example with a name "this_important_file.txt"
4. Close Kate
5. Open Kate, and look at "Open recent" or at the Welcome screen that has "Recent documents and Projects". You will not see you new file there.

OBSERVED RESULT
The "this_important_file.txt" is missing from the recent files list.

EXPECTED RESULT
The "this_important_file.txt" should be in the recent files list.


SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
(available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window)

Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12
KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.1.0-26-amd64 (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: offscreen



ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

If I use Open to open a file, then it shows up in the recent files as expected. It is only the "New" and then "save" that forgets to update that list. Note: I tried to find duplicates of this issue, in case it was already reported but I did not find any.

In Kate Settings, I tried  both "load last used session" and "manually choose session". Both have this issue (or maybe this issue is unrelated)
