17 * @class KRecentDocument krecentdocument.h <KRecentDocument>
18 *
19 * Manage the "Recent Document Menu" entries displayed by
20 * applications such as Kicker and Konqueror.
21 *
22 * These entries are automatically generated .desktop files pointing
23 * to the current application and document. You should call the
24 * static add() method whenever the user opens or saves a new
25 * document if you want it to show up in the menu.
26 *
27 * It also stores history following xdg specification.
28 * Ref: https://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Specifications/desktop-bookmark-spec
29 * This allows cross-framework file history sharing.
30 * I.e Gtk Apps can access files recently opened by KDE Apps.
31 *
32 * You don't have to worry about this if you are using
33 * QFileDialog to open and save documents, as the KDE implementation
34 * (KFileWidget) already calls this class. User defined limits on the maximum
35 * number of documents to save, etc... are all automatically handled.
