Bug ID: 508766
Summary: kactivitymanagerd database does not clear its data
when "Clear History" is chosen from "Security &
Privacy > Recent Files"
Classification: I don't know
Product: kde
Version First unspecified
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
Reporter: morgon.kanter at gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I just created and accessed two files, `test.mp4` and `testfile.tar.gz` as part
of reproducing bugs in haruna and ark, respectively. These two programs opened
these files and left entries in kactivitymanagerd's database in the process,
which can be seen via:
$ sqlite3 .local/share/kactivitymanagerd/resources/database
sqlite> SELECT * FROM ResourceInfo WHERE TargettedResource LIKE
'%testfile.tar.gz%';
/home/yourusername/testfile.tar.gz|testfile.tar.gz|application/x-compressed-tar|0|0
...and the same for test.mp4. These were created 20ish minutes ago. If I go to
`System Settings > Recent Files > Clear History > Forget the last hour`, it
says the activity history has been cleared. However, these entries in the
database remain.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open any file in ark or haruna (or, likely, any other KDE application that
leaves a trace in kactivitymanagerd).
2. Close the application.
3. Attempt to clear history.
OBSERVED RESULT
Database entries are not removed.
EXPECTED RESULT
Database entries should be removed.
