By default, Bugzilla does not search the list of RESOLVED bugs.
You can force it to do so by putting the upper-case word ALL in front of your search query, e.g.: ALL tdelibs
We recommend searching for bugs this way, as you may discover that your bug has already been resolved and fixed in a later release.

Description Darrell 2010-08-25 14:49:29 CDT

Once upon a time, Kate provided the option to specify the number of files to list in the Most Recently Used (MRU) file list. That option was removed and the MRU list is limited to a mere 10 items.

Historical screen capture is available here (http://humanreadable.nfshost.com/images/kate-mru-a.png).

The option was removed somewhere between KDE 3.3.2 and 3.4.3.

Request is to restore that option.

Restores the 'number of files' and sorting widgets to the Kate configuration

I found the original code snippets in the KDE3 SVN:

KDE SVN 388831: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=388831
KDE SVN 388846: http://websvn.kde.org/?view=revision&revision=388846

I reversed the patches. I added some 'TQT' love.

I tested the rebuilt Kate with the attached patch. Both the number and sort widgets function wonderfully.

As a test I set the number of files to list in Kate's MRU (Most Recently Used) list to 25 and all 25 files appear in the MRU.

Note: the sort widget affects the Documents file pane and not the MRU list. took me a while to realize that. :)

Why these two features were considered "useless crap" I'll never know. That's what the original developer called the SVN merge when s/he removed the code.

Committed to GIT in hash d5f119e.

For some reason the patch file would not merge automatically, complaining about a malformed patch at the second set of @@ lines.

Thanks for reporting, and for the patch!
