Bug ID: 526822
Summary: Recent Locations displays filesystem access time
instead of recorded application activity
Classification: Frameworks and Libraries
Product: kio-extras
Version First 26.08.1
Reported In:
Platform: CachyOS
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Recently Used
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
CC: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
Dolphin's Recent Locations view shows old application visits as recent when a
directory's filesystem access time is newer than its recorded application
activity.
Observed example:
Directory: /mnt/data/media/music
Recorded Dolphin activity: September 9, 2026, 14:23
Filesystem access time: October 7, 2026, 10:22
Recent Locations displayed: Yesterday at 10:22 AM (screenshot taken October 8,
2026)
The application activity was checked in kactivitymanagerd's ResourceEvent and
ResourceScoreCache tables using a read-only SQLite connection. The filesystem
access time was checked with stat.
Expected result:
Recent Locations should display and sort by the recorded application-activity
timestamp. Directory reads by unrelated background processes should not make an
old application visit appear recent.
The current upstream recentlyused.cpp implementation retains filesystem
UDS_ACCESS_TIME under some conditions rather than always using the supplied
LastUpdateRole timestamp. This appears to explain the observed mismatch.
Environment:
CachyOS, Hyprland
Dolphin 26.08.1-1.1
kio-extras 26.08.1-2.1
kactivitymanagerd 6.7.5-1.1
Related report: bug 437382. Its fixes appear to address different timestamp and
sorting cases.
The process responsible for the newer filesystem access time is unknown. No
controlled reproduction has yet been performed.
