SUMMARY KWrite forgets file history after 1-2 days. I tried to set it to remember 60 recent files and never remove unused data, but it had no effect. The problem appeared after recent system update. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open another file every day in Kwrite 2. Check File -> recent files history OBSERVED RESULT Some files disappear from history (I don't remember the order of opening the files) EXPECTED RESULT All the opened files are shown in history SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: 6.2.1-1-default KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.2 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8
I've noticed that it happens after I open a text file from Dolphin. After that, only the opened text file remains in the recent files history.
Can not reproduce that with 22.12.3 in either Kate nor KWrite, tried the trick to open a file via Dolphin, still works as intended here.
(In reply to Christoph Cullmann from comment #2) > Can not reproduce that with 22.12.3 in either Kate nor KWrite, tried the > trick to open a file via Dolphin, still works as intended here. I tried to remove all lists of recent files from ~/.config/kwriterc. There were two separate lists of recent files and one list of recent URLs. Now my list of recent files is growing normally. Let's see if the problem has been fixed. The new list is absent from kwriterc, by the way, i.e., it's stored somewhere else.
Cleaning of ~/.config/kwriterc didn't help. I've just opened a .txt file from Dolphin and my file history has been emptied.
