SUMMARY In the KDE menu almost at top Recent Files menu works only if I try to remove all files (or a single app), but not a single file (unless sometimes, randomly and rarely) STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Go to KDE menu -> Recent Files 2. Try to remove (forget) a single recent file 3. Someteme it happens, but in 99% of cases no OBSERVED RESULT The forget file doesn't work EXPECTED RESULT The forget file should work, removing that file SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 6.0 KDE Plasma Version: 6.1.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-40-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics Memory: 13,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION As I said Recent Applications works as expected, and so Recent Files -> forget all. But not for a single file. Not sure that this is the right section of KDE Bugs: sorry.
I see "Forget File" in the context menu for recent files in both Kickoff and Kicker. Can you attach a screenshot that shows the menu you're using, plus the contents of the context menu when you right-click on a file?
Created attachment 174087 [details] screenshot of recent files dx menu Here you are!
I too see "Forget File": the problem is that command doesn't work.
So you click on it and it does nothing? Does this issue reproduce in a new clean user account on the same machine?
Yes, nothing happen. Yes, in all my devices and all users I have this bug.
How strange, I can't reproduce that on current git master. Does it still happen in Plasma 6.2.0?
Yes, it does. And in all my devices (even after going to lts 24.06). Here my details: Operating System: KDE neon 6.2 KDE Plasma Version: 6.2.0 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.6.0 Qt Version: 6.7.2 Kernel Version: 6.8.0-47-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 16 × AMD Ryzen 7 5700G with Radeon Graphics Memory: 13,5 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: AMD Radeon Graphics
I'm unsure what the problem could be, unfortunately. Are you able to test with a different distro? Maybe somehow it's a Neon-specific issue.
Yes: in Kubuntu there isn't this issue. Only in Neon.

Sorry, but what kind of info I should provide?
I can confirm "Forget File" menu item isn't behaving as expected in the "Application Menu" (Kicker). The bug was filed under the wrong component (Kickoff: "Application Launcher") Reproduced under: Arch Linux, Plasma 6.2.3, Frameworks 6.8.0, Qt 6.8.0. Steps to reproduce: 1. Replace menu: "Show Alternates" → "Application Menu" on the Plasma panel. 2. Create some text files on the desktop and open them. 3. Open the menu → Recent Files → "Forget File" for one of them. 4. Nothing appears to happen. However, if I log out and back in, the file I asked to forget disappears from the menu, so it is functionally working. Hopefully it's just a simple 'need to refresh the list' kind of bug.
Thank you! I see... Indeed this is a small bug, but it would be better to fix it, sooner or later.
