I'm finally getting around to asking this question. In the picture, when I mouse on 'open recent' a list pops up next to it. Every item in the list also has the location of that item after it in brackets '[ ]'. ...
How do I get rid of the garbage in the brackets? There's nothing in the 'settings' that does anything about it.

That seems to be in all KDE programs having Open Recent option. I checked KWrite and Kate and it is the same.
<sigh>...I just checked Kate also and you're correct, it does it there too.
This is sad. It used to be that my Linux system allowed me to be in charge, change things as *I* wanted them. ...
I think the OP confuses the illusion that an army of open source coders exists to read his mind and implement everything he desires with happiness. The freedom to use the source, change it as I wants and participate in improving it gives me more material feelings of warmth and being in control.
Since you don't care to try to understand the phrase 'Don't fix what ain't broke' and decided that since I've asked and looked in all the places I could that *normally* *would* allow me to 'fix' something to work as *I* like it to, I get to say that you *DO NOT* 'think'. Quit doing it, it makes you look bad and you don't seem to be very good at it.
They don't come much more control freakish than I, so I won't (wouldn't) suggest that such control wouldn't be useful.
I think, though, that the reason for it is that many files with a given base name may occur, and presenting the full path name helps disambiguate in this situation.
You're right.
So at a minimum, they could be more selective and show the full names only when that information actually does disambiguate the overall list.
Should be a doddle for anyone with C++ 101 and an ounce of DIY:
Guess what, oh know-it-all? Not everyone can program! Weird huh? Are you an ass from birth or do you work hard to be one? If anything should and would have been a "doddle", it would have been some simple way of turning that crap *OFF*. Hey, oh babbling whiner...can you DIY a complete turnkey motor for your vehicle in your garage...without a book? Can you work on a Harley motor without a book? I "DIY" lots of things that you can't, and vice-versa, so pull your head out. <snip rest of Will's penchant for climbing on tall white horses and showing how much of an pompous ass he can be> -- The Second Amendment is in place in case the politicians ignore the others. -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
