            Bug ID: 501802
           Summary: Dolphin creates recently-used.xbel even when Recent
                    Files are disabled in System Settings
    Classification: Applications
           Product: dolphin
           Version: unspecified

SUMMARY
I have disabled recent files but Dolphin still creates a recently-used.xbel
file.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

1. In System Settings > Recent Files, set "Remember opened documents" to "Do
not remember".

2. Move the existing recently-used.xbel file:
mv ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel.old

3. Open Dolphin and launch a file. (I opened a text file in Kate to be sure I
wasn't launching a non-QT app).

4. Verify that a file has been created:
ls -al ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

5. Open the file in Kate to show that it contains a list of recently opened
files:
kate ~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel


OBSERVED RESULT
~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel is created when Recent Files have been set to
"Do not remember".


EXPECTED RESULT
~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel should not be created when Recent Files have
been set to "Do not remember".
