one small tweak to the api and then i think this can go in; note that we are in feature freeze, however, so features can't go in right now. i consider this a bug fix, however, since i spent much of last week accidentally opening an image i'd taken with ksnapshot that was named the same as an application i use (guess what the snapshot was of? hehe..) so having this preferential ranking in makes krunner more reliable imo.

    how about just save(const KConfigGroup &config) and restore(const KConfigGroup &config)
    
    that way we can use those methods for other data storage/retrieval if we wish, and if we change how launch counts are managed we aren't stuck with lame API.
    
    it would also be consistent with Applet, Wallpaper, etc.

It boosts relevance of a match whenever a user runs that match, allowing the match to appear before other matches obtained of similar nature as long as the front-end correctly sorts the matches.

If a user launches Konsole via KRunner at least one time more than Konqueror, Konsole will have its relevance boosted and will appear before Konqueror in the list of matches.
