I use Kubuntu 16.04 LTS. After opening a document during my KDE session a link appears immediately under ~/.local/share/RecentDocuments
but nothing appears under the "Recent documents" entry of the Plasma widgets "Applications menu" and Kickoff. Plasma needs a restart to show the new entry. Is this a feature? Is there a way to for Plasma to show immediately new recent documents (without restarting Plasma)?
Perhaps because there is also a
.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments
. You can try symlinking them as described here:
