SUMMARY STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Click New to create an empty document 2. Type "blabla" so that it has some content 3. Save to disk to your home directory for example with a name "this_important_file.txt" 4. Close Kate 5. Open Kate, and look at "Open recent" or at the Welcome screen that has "Recent documents and Projects". You will not see you new file there. OBSERVED RESULT The "this_important_file.txt" is missing from the recent files list. EXPECTED RESULT The "this_important_file.txt" should be in the recent files list. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Windows: macOS: (available in the Info Center app, or by running `kinfo` in a terminal window) Operating System: Debian GNU/Linux 12 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.103.0 Qt Version: 5.15.8 Kernel Version: 6.1.0-26-amd64 (64-bit) Graphics Platform: offscreen ADDITIONAL INFORMATION If I use Open to open a file, then it shows up in the recent files as expected. It is only the "New" and then "save" that forgets to update that list. Note: I tried to find duplicates of this issue, in case it was already reported but I did not find any. In Kate Settings, I tried both "load last used session" and "manually choose session". Both have this issue (or maybe this issue is unrelated)
This is fixed in the latest release.
