Hello-

I'm using the beta of KDE 4.13 (actual version 4.12.95) in the current state of Kubuntu 14.04. Gwenview reports its version as "4.13.0 beta3".

I have always disabled the "Remember folders and URLs" option in Gwenview, and opening the program without loading an image indeed shows "History has been disabled." in white text below the toolbar. In all previous versions of Gwenview that I can remember, disabling history also removed the "Open Recent" option from the File menu, but this is present in this version of Gwenview. Recent files are remembered in the "Open Recent" list and I would prefer not to manually clear this.

Is this a regression from previous releases of Gwenview?

I don't know if I have ever guessed correctly whether an issue affects all of KDE software or is specific to Kubuntu customizations, which usually results in me posting questions like this to the Kubuntu forums instead of here, and vice versa. I apologize if I have done this again.

If you clear this list, are subsequent files you open entered into this list?

Yes. After clearing the recent file list, any subsequent files that are opened show up in the "Open Recent" list. This menu option behaves as if Settings -> Configure Gwenview -> Remember folders and URLs is checked, despite the actual state of this configuration option.

Okay, this is very likely a regression in Gwenview - please file a bug report at bugs.kde.org so this can be corrected.
