Dolphin and KFiledialog share the same backend it is expected to have the same
issues.

Does it means the bug does not occur for you anymore now you turned on
"remember history" in Activity Settings?

That would be expected "Recent Files/Locations" in dolphin are using KActivity
backend, or at least a prerequist to have this option activated.
You can use instead "recentdocuments:/" but it is a lot useful.

>. Are "Recent Files" and "Activity History" actually related?

"Recent Files/Locations" and "Activity History" are implemented through the
same kactivity backend, it saves applications accessed and file access while
retaining the activity context.

Those applications for which we had received some activity in past. That is
they have a recent accessed files list, or, like dolphin and gwenview deeper
integration.
If there are not visible there, that means the applications does not expose any
activity "hint" or not in a way KActivity supports (it support KDE Apps and GTK
Apps currently).

Do you a 30 elements in Recent files ?
You can have virtual folders for mimetype or more files listed by editing the
location url or edit your place in the place bar.
