Recent Documents1

Sun Apr 18, 2021 6:10 pm
All.

Since you have severely limited topic category, by a list of apps that most never use, I'm posting here!

I have the following problems with "Recent Documents" that needs fixing:

  • The list shows images! I can never have any images of any type or extension in the list, so must know how to fix this,
  • I always have over 50 documents open at once and all open documents must be in the list, no or high limit of at least 50,
  • I'm using doc extensions, .c, .doc/dot, .docx/dotx, .h, php/php5, .pjt, .rft, .sh, .txt, .xls/xlsx, .xlt/xltx, many are not included in the list,

So need fixes for these 3 problems. Hoping someone knows the "Recent Documents" app well enough to get these fixes done!

Cheers!

What "Recent Documents" app are you talking about? The menu item in the Application launcher? Since this is not a standalone application but a widget this belongs to Plasma 5, moving topic.
As for bug reports and wishlists, https://bugs.kde.org is the correct place for this, not the forum. Make sure you only post one item per report.


Running Kubuntu 22.10 with Plasma 5.26.3, Frameworks 5.100.0, Qt 5.15.6, kernel 5.19.0-23 on Ryzen 5 4600H, AMD Renoir, X11
FWIW: it's always useful to state the exact Plasma version (+ distribution) when asking questions, makes it easier to help ...

Mamarok,

Though I see it as a config issue and not a bug, I'll report it as a bug! Maybe it's something they never considered. I think they just use "cat" off the system log, but not sure. Thanks!

Mamarok,

OK, There is not place to submit my bug at bugs.kde.org, so submitted ticket #435919 instead, asking for help in where to submit the bug!

Very verry very badly organized site, totally eliminating all non-CORE users because of the education needed to find where to submit.

No wonder they get so few bugs actually reported by the user community! I'm sure less than 5% of all existing problems get reported as you have to search for a place to enter a "General Help" issue, like I posted since they do not have anyplace for non-CORE person to enter "General Help" to ask a Q like I reported!

They totally violated the 2nd of the 2 cardinal rules for developers which are:

1. Never never never never never never never never never never be ambiguous!
2. Never never never never never never never never never never assume anything!

They will take offense, but any violation of these 2 rules, shows the persons doing it as totally rank amateurs and noobies!

Cheers!

right, but you still didn't answer my question...

Mamarok,

That bugsite is so cryptic that I had to ask a "Where do I Post" Q and Yuri, there, told me to put it under "plasmashell" but when I did some jackass closed it with "Not the right Format" which it never can be, because it cannot be posted as a bug, if it is just a confirguration issue, but no one there will define the filters and limitation of "Recent Document" where we end users can determine if it is a bug, configuration or design issue.

I'm hoping further conversations with Yuri will produce some answers!

Cheers!
