Detailed Description
Recent files action
This class is an action to handle a recent files submenu. The best way to create the action is to use KStandardAction.openRecent. Then you simply need to call loadEntries on startup, saveEntries on shutdown, addURL when your application loads/saves a file.

| QString | text, | |||
| QObject | parent | |||
| ) |
Constructs an action with text; a shortcut may be specified by the ampersand character (e.g. \"&Option\" creates a shortcut with key O )
This is the most common KAction used when you do not have a corresponding icon (note that it won't appear in the current version of the "Edit ToolBar" dialog, because an action needs an icon to be plugged in a toolbar...).
- Parameters:
-
text The text that will be displayed. parent The parent of this action.
| __init__ | ( | self, | ||
| KIcon | icon, | |||
| QString | text, | |||
