Description Riccardo Robecchi 2020-10-06 10:40:03 UTC 
Created attachment 132146 [details]
The screenshot that has been just taken does not appear in the recent files list.

SUMMARY
Spectacle does not update the list of recent files with the screenshot it takes.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. take a screenshot using Spectacle
2. open "recent files in Dolphin"

OBSERVED RESULT
The screenshot the user has just taken is not in the recent files list. It does not appear either in ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel nor in ~/.local/share/RecentDocuments/. See the screenshot for visual proof: the screenshot file on the right does not appear in the list on the left.

EXPECTED RESULT
The screenshot should appear in the recent files list.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux: KDE neon 5.19.5
KDE Plasma Version: 5.19.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.74.0
Qt Version: 5.15

Huh, works for me. Is your recently used view sorted by Creation Date/Newest First? If not, it might be buried down in the list.

It wasn't shown in the screenshot, but it was sorted to show newest files first. Oddly enough, the attached screenshot got added to the list. Another I made right after that was not. It seems like it's erratic in how files are recorded.

Weird.
