Fond memories!
OS/2 was also the only OS back then where I could run my fave fractal
generator, DOS Fractint, in a graphical environment. The same hardware
dual-booted some version of Windows (predating XP, probably) and running
DOS Fractint was sufficient to hard lock the system. OS/2 would happily
let Fractint run in a window, calculating its fractals while I did other
stuff with the system.
I've never tried KDE5 so I don't know if it has that OS/2 Warp
functionality. Anybody know?

That would be a nice feature. I too have fond memories of OS/2 Warp.
Matter of fact, I still have an IBM 765D Laptop running it in my studio.
These days it is only used as a MIDI filter to talk to legacy analog
hardware.
Hmm, useful if not set to remove references automatically.
More useful: Show me which ones have been moved, let me right-click it,
then give me the option to remove the orphaned reference or change the
location by navigating to the new target.
The ability to do this may be dependent on the user's desktop enviroment.
When I used OS/2 Warp ages ago, IBM'S Workplace Shell automatically
updated the target of any link/shortcut whenever you moved the target
file. I don't think any Linux desktop environment does that. Neither does
Windows. Don't know about the Mac UI.

When Rosegarden scans the 'recent' list, can it please check the
existence of a
file, and if it's not there remove it from its list?
I frequently start projects in a development directory, and when
complete move
them into a 'done' one, which leaves these orphan references behind.
