Bug ID: 513399
Summary: "Recent files" view is not updated when visited and
requires manual refresh
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: frameworks-kio
Version First 6.21.0
Reported In:
Platform: Neon
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general

Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
The "recent files" view used, as an example, in the file open/save dialogue is
not updated when opened. Instead, the user is required to manually refresh it
in order for it to show the latest files. This is not only unintuitive, but it
feels broken. It is also contrary to how every other file view operates (you
don't need to update a folder in order to show any modified files, as an
example).
The "recent files" view should be changed so that it updates in real time. As a
reference, this is the behaviour of all other platforms I know of (GNOME,
macOS).
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a new text file in Kate and save it.
2. Open the "open file" dialogue
3. Select the "recent files" item
OBSERVED RESULT
The "recent files" view is not updated to include the file you have just saved
and you have to manually hit the "refresh" button in order to display it.
EXPECTED RESULT
The "recent files" view is updated to include the file you have just saved.
