Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.1) Installed from: Compiled From Sources OS: Linux Greetings, I recently had the chance/misfortune to use MS Windows again. I found that they had another nice and intuitive feature in their open file dialog. Instead of recent files in the File menu they had a "Recent" folder on the left side on the top of the other folders, which was application specific. In this folder you could see the recently opened files from this application, but more, the key feature was: also links to the latest folders, where those files were in! This is nice because how often do you want to edit _another_ text file from your text file folder. Plus I think this solution is somewhat more intuitive than having additional items in the menu for recent files, without icons and all. Plus It would give every application a recent file feature, that uses the open file dialog from kde. What do you think? I just want to make proposes to make KDE even greater. :-) So long, HD
the combobox on the right top is the list of recent folders and most applications actually remember the last opened folder
Yes, the functionality is there. But the other solution is more intuitive. I thought one goal of the KDE-Project is to enhance its usability and user-friendliness.
Created attachment 12089 [details] a screenshot of the "Recent" folder feature in the open file dialog
Moving from "kio/kfile" component to "kfile" product, helps sorting out duplicates.
Any update on this?

GTK (Gnome) file dialog have recent files/folders already long time - it shows not only files, but recently used folders too, and this is very useful! Currently in KDE we have timeline:/today/ and recentdocuments:/ urls for view recent files, but they are miss recently used folders. Can KDE developers lookup the UI of GTK recent list, and implement same way in KDE File Open/Save dialogs for show recently used folders?
I have a patch that adds this: https://phabricator.kde.org/D7446 I need to make some revisions on it to make it merge-worthy.
