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.

Calls add( url ).

Parameters:

	documentStr	The full path to the document or URL to add.

void KRecentDocument::add	(	const KURL &	url,
		const QString &	desktopEntryName
	)			[static]

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

Parameters:

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