Bug ID: 455375
Summary: Possible regression in mimetype handling for recent
files
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.25.0
Platform: Gentoo Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: j...@redstrate.com
CC: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
In 5.25 (I have not yet tested in earlier versions, but someone on 5.24.5
confimed in #kde that they can't reproduce) Okular fails to list it's own
"Recent Files" in your typical places, such as right-clicking a pinned task on
the task manager applet. The menu is also missing in your typical app launcher
widget. However, Okular seems to still correctly track these, so I suspect it's
something to do with how plasmashell calculates which recent files are
relevant, based on the .desktop MimeTypes. For example, Okular's main .desktop
file only lists "application/vnd.kde.okular-archive".
Note: I mention Okular a lot in this bug report, but this might apply to other
applications too. It's just the easiest to reproduce with :-)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open a couple of PDF's in Okular.
2. Notice how they are recorded correctly in Okular itself, and inside of the
"Recent Files" menu located in any other Plasma widget.
3. The same menu (for relevant Okular documents) seem to be missing.
OBSERVED RESULT
No recent files can be found when right-clicking Okular.
EXPECTED RESULT
The relevant document types associated with Okular should show up, but no
"Recent Files" menu even appears.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: 5.17.1

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Please move this into it's relevant category if possible, I'm not exactly sure
which part of the KDE stack actually deals with this specifically.
