kde5/6: recent files/recent applications
Hi *, the problem already existed in kde5, but continued in kde6: The menues for "recent files" and "recent applications" stay empty in the start menu, in dolphin and other apps. In .local/share/RecentDocuments/ all the desktop icons for recent files are still existing. The list is updated whenever I open a new document, but nevertheless the "recent files" menu remains empty. As for "recent applications" I can't even find a folder, where they would be stored. I found a few, mostly very old postings on the net, but no fitting answer. Anyone any idea? TIA. Bye. Michael.

Sry, forgot that - yes, in Tumbleweed.
On my Tumbleweed system with KDE6 I see files in Recent Files. For example, if I open a file in Dolphin, that file is then at the top of the list of recent files as shown in the Start Menu. Which Start menu style are you using? Maybe all three do not act the same. I am exploring the Dashboard these days. (I'm not convinced. But that's a different topic.) The files show up there.

TIA.
I found the missed setting: - System settings -> 'Apps & Windows' -> 'Activities' - double click 'Default' (my only activity profile) - 'Tracking file and app use' I was not aware of this setting before, but after activating it and saving the settings, the list of Recent Files was filled immediately after opening the next file, same for Recent Applications. Why are there two different places to manage this? Besides the above mentioned location there also is System settings -> 'Security & Privacy' -> 'Recent Files', but changing anything here doesn't seem to have any effect at all. Does anyone know, how they play together? Bye. Michael.
