A kioslave to display recent documents or &URL;s in the file dialog, in the file manager, in &krunner; and in the Application Menu.

You can use the kioslave like this:

Type `recentdocuments:/` in the location bar of &dolphin;, &konqueror; and the file dialog to list the recently opened documents or &URL;s.

You can add an entry to the Places sidebar: right click on the sidebar, choose Add Entry, enter `recentdocuments:/` in the Location field and save it. It should be available now in all file dialogs unless you check to show the entry only in this application.

In the &systemsettings; module Plasma Search enable the search plugin Recent Documents to use this kioslave in &krunner;.

In the Application Menu add a menu item with recent documents at the top of the menu by enabling Show recent documents on the settings page.
