Description Kevin Funk 2014-02-11 12:47:30 UTC
As discussed with Agateau on IRC:
- Add a "Recent Files" entry to the File menu (I think that's a pre-made KDE component?)
- Replace the "Recent URLs" tab by "Recent Files" instead

Reproducible: Always

Reopening because there's still something left:
- Replace the "Recent URLs" tab by "Recent Files" instead
Comment 3 Sahil Sareen 2014-03-16 09:56:24 UTC
I want to take this up but will need some help as this is my first time on kde. 
I think I can change the "Recent URLs" to "Recent Files" and make it work.

@Sahil: Just check out the gwenview source code and get familiar with the code.

I think Aurelien and me agreed on replacing the second tab by a "Recent Files" widget. That means, it should just show the *same* contents as the "File -> Open Recent" menu item instead of just URLs.

Just have a look at the patch at https://projects.kde.org/projects/kde/kdegraphics/gwenview/repository/revisions/bec4e1bf3f19d7693815f9f8140f3cbf02ad15a8/diff/app/mainwindow.cpp to see where the recent file entries are coming from.

Im still on it.

Replace the 'Recent URLs' tab with a 'Recent Files' one, which shows the same files as the recently opened menu item does.

Motivation as per 331011 in bugzilla.
