SUMMARY Now we have Recent/Often-Used Documents/Applications/contacts, but in the "Documents" one there are both documents and "Locations" (e.g. the folders I visited with Dolphin). So a new Recent/Often-Used Locations entry could be welcome :) ... STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. 2. 3. OBSERVED RESULT EXPECTED RESULT SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.18.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.69 Qt Version: 5.14.1 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Agreed - for clarity, I'd hoped to get a "Recent Documents" menu that actually represents "recent documents" - similarly to on Windows. As Plasma 5's "Recent Documents" menu is cluttered with a mix of actual "recent documents" AND "recent locations" together, very few actual documents are shown. They're rapidly pushed out of the menu by virtue of simply browsing around the filesystem.
Yep, this should be changed. Especially with https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/150/
Question: is there any way to manually clean out all the locations from 'Recent Documents?' Then I could at least 'fix' it with a cronjob or a hotkey. I tried deleting ~/.local/share/user-places.xbel, but that didn't do it.
The following seems to be working: sqlite3 ~/.local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/database "DELETE FROM ResourceScoreCache WHERE initiatingAgent = 'dolphin';" ; pkill -f kactivitymanagerd ; /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kactivitymanagerd & Not sure if this really safe or recommended, but at least it does seem to clear out all the clutter & make the menu behave properly if or until an official solution exists...

Hi, opened another bug report (https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=428085). Since those problems didn't affect Plasma 5.19 and previous version, could they be related to this fix?

It might but I can't be sure. I am familiar with the underlying library and I reviewed the change and nothing looks suspicious. It might be but indirectly. Unfortunately I can't test and confirm right now.
