Description Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2009-06-08 09:25:23 UTC 
Version:           0.8.4 (using 4.2.4 (KDE 4.2.4), Debian packages)
Compiler:          cc
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.6.30-rc8-hope

If i open a file (using the normal open dialog), it will not appear in recent files list.
Comment 1 Pino Toscano 2009-06-08 10:56:30 UTC 
Works here.
Comment 2 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2009-06-08 11:22:50 UTC 
Always? All the time?
Comment 3 Pino Toscano 2009-06-08 19:06:36 UTC 
> Always? All the time?

Yes.
And in your case? Did it work in previous versions? Any other detail...?
Comment 4 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2009-06-09 01:14:06 UTC 
It wasn't working also in the previous version in debian (should be kde 4.2.2). Well not working 'always', but time to time it does. I couldn't find a pattern.
Comment 5 Salvo "LtWorf" Tomaselli 2009-06-25 13:14:18 UTC 
Can't find a pattern, but still doesn't work 100% of the times.

Maybe the problem arises whenever many instances of okular are open at the same time?  Then the last instance of okular saves the list of "recent files".  All files opened by other instanced are overwritten.

Hi Salvo,
Is this bug still reproducible in the latest version of Okular? If so, could you confirm whether the suggestion in #6 is accurate or not?
Comment 8 jarauh 2012-01-05 14:42:07 UTC 
At least the issue I mentioned is still there. To reproduce:
Open two different files (say, A.pdf and B.pdf) in two instances of okular.  Close first the okular window with A.pdf, and then close the other okular window.  Then, when starting okular again, the list of recent files contains B.pdf, but not A.pdf.
Comment 9 Ricardo Varas 2013-10-02 19:13:51 UTC 
I just went over the steps to reproduce this bug by using multiple instances of Okular and it's still happening under Okular Version 0.17.1, KDE 4.11.1. +1 to comment #6.
If you only open one document at the time, open recent list is displayed just fine, no bug.
Also, if I open a pdf file by using the File->Open option, the doc is shown in the open recent list too.
The question is: Is this bug for the original statement "If i open a file (using the normal open dialog), it will not appear in recent files list." or for the problem with the open recent list while using multiple instances of Okular?
Comment 10 Ricardo Varas 2013-10-02 19:33:48 UTC 
By the way, I believe this bug report should be closed and pay attention to Bug 265218 - The "recent documents" file menu should be consistent across instances.
Comment 11 Albert Astals Cid 2013-10-02 19:38:13 UTC 
It's just the same bug
