Title: Recently used documents are not actualized during a KDE session
Tags: 16.04;kubuntu;kde;plasma
Question: 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)?

Comment: I just noticed that `~/.local/share/RecentDocuments` does not cover all the recent documents shown by Plasma. There must be another place where Plasma stores recent documents but I am not able to find it.

Here is the accepted answer: Perhaps because there is also a ```.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments```. You can try symlinking them as described here:

``` ln -sf ~/.local/share/RecentDocuments ~/.kde/share/apps/RecentDocuments
```
