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.

You don't have to worry about this if you are using any KFileDialog derived class to open and save documents, as it already calls this class. User defined limits on the maximum number of documents to save, etc... are all automatically handled.
