Created attachment 130122 [details] Screenshot SUMMARY Selecting multiple files in the "recent files" screen of the open/save dialogue results either in an error or in no files being actually selected. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Use Firefox to go to a page where you have a "select files" button and click it 2. select multiple files in the open/save dialogue 3. click "ok" OBSERVED RESULT None of the files is actually uploaded. You have to select files one by one for them to be uploaded. If you do the same in Kate, an error message is shown (see attached screenshot). The file name field reports this: "recentlyused:/files/file:///path/to/file". This makes the app unable to open the file. EXPECTED RESULT All the files selected are uploaded/opened correctly. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE neon KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.72.0 Qt Version: 5.14.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

I just realised something that might be of interest. Selecting multiple files does not work if the files are on an external disk. I have been selecting multiple files stored on the internal drive of my notebook and I have had no issues, but as soon as I connected an external drive it wouldn't work anymore. I hope this can help narrow down the source of the issue.

Scratch that, I did further testing and it doesn't work for files on the current disk as well. It did work though, so I do wonder what (if anything) changed.

What changed is that we have a new kio worker recentlyused:/ that has replaced recentdocuments:/ because it is much more feature full, activity aware, syncs with kickoff, etc... You can read my blog post about it http://www.bivouak.fr/recently-used-ioslave/ But it is not yet completely properly implemented, and io worker design is not very simple.

Oh, what I meant is that recentlyused:/ worked in November, then started not working again. So my assumption is that something must have changed in the meantime.
