Comment 1 Patrick Silva 2022-08-20 13:40:51 UTC 
The opened file is also listed in the context menu of the task manager.
Comment 2 Méven Car 2022-08-20 20:24:03 UTC 
The relevant code is mostly in  kconfigWidgets  KRecentFilesAction, which this kcm could expose some settings for this.
Comment 3 Nate Graham 2022-08-23 10:26:01 UTC 
Observe evidence for my suggestion that this UI should control everything because users are confused it if only controls a subset of things. :) Re-titling the bug.
Comment 4 Patrick Silva 2023-11-19 14:21:44 UTC 
The file that was opened is still listed in 'File > Open recent' menu of used app.
