Bug ID: 423302
Summary: Document in API for KRecentFilesAction::addAction that
temp files are ignored
Product: frameworks-kconfigwidgets
Version: 5.70.0
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
Reporter: rjwgn...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Developing an app which uses KRecentFilesAction, I did my debug testing storing
a file in /tmp/xxx.json, where added it to a KRecentFilesAction, using
addUrl(). When I went to the associated "Open Recent..." menu entry, and found
it greyed out. Spent hours looking at the creation of the action (through
KXmlGuiClien::actionCollection()->addAction() and other permutations). Finally
looked at the source for KRecentFilesAction::addAction() and found where the
code quietly discards files in the temp directory:
if (url.isLocalFile() && url.toLocalFile().startsWith(QDir::tempPath())) {
return;
}
While this makes some sense, "favors" done by the code should be documented.
Some note to this effect should be in the API for the widget.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. create an app using a KRecentFilesAction action
2. add a QUrl to a local file stored in the temp path
3. wonder why it does not show up in the recent files list
OBSERVED RESULT
1. File mysteriously does not show up in the recents list
EXPECTED RESULT
1. It should not be a mystery, as behavior should be documented.
