Detailed Description

Manage the "Recent Document Menu" entries displayed by applications such as Kicker and Konqueror.

These entries are automatically generated .desktop files pointing to the current application and document. You should call the static add() method whenever the user opens or saves a new document if you want it to show up in the menu.

It also stores history following xdg specification. Ref: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec This allows cross-framework file history sharing. I.e Gtk Apps can access files recently opened by KDE Apps.

You don't have to worry about this if you are using QFileDialog to open and save documents, as the KDE implementation (KFileWidget) already calls this class. User defined limits on the maximum number of documents to save, etc... are all automatically handled.

Member Function Documentation

add() [1/5]

static void KRecentDocument::add ( const QString &  documentStr, bool  isUrl = false  )

inlinestatic

Add a new item to the Recent Document menu.

Calls add( url ).

Parameters

documentStr	The full path to the document or URL to add.
isURL	Set to true if documentStr is an URL and not a local file path.

Deprecated:

Since 5.0, call add(QUrl(str)) if isURL=true, and add(QUrl::fromLocalFile(str)) if isURL=false.

Definition at line 120 of file krecentdocument.h.

add() [2/5]

void KRecentDocument::add ( const QUrl &  url )

static

Add a new item to the Recent Document menu.

Parameters

url	The url to add.

Definition at line 457 of file krecentdocument.cpp.

add() [3/5]

void KRecentDocument::add ( const QUrl &  url, const QString &  desktopEntryName  )

static

Add a new item to the Recent Document menu, specifying the application to open it with.

The above add() method uses QCoreApplication::applicationName() for the app name, which isn't always flexible enough. This method is used when an application launches another one to open a document.

Parameters

url	The url to add.
desktopEntryName	The desktopEntryName of the service to use for opening this document.
