--- Comment #26 from Jarosław Staniek <stan...@kde.org> ---
Workaround to make new .kexi files work in Welcome screen: 

1. In any plain text editor create a new .kexis file in the folder
$HOME/.local5/share/kexi/recent_projects/ 
(the kexis files are the recent entries)

Example content:

[Database1]
engine=sqlite
lastOpened=2019-01-10T22:39:19
name=$HOME/Documents/db.kexi
type=database

[File Information]
version=3

2. Change the "name=" line in the copy to actual path of the new file you want
to open. You can change the lastOpened= line to more actual date is you want
your entry to appear immediately on top of the Welcome screen.

3. Restart KEXI. The entry should appear and should work if it was edited
properly.


OPTIONAL more trivial workaround:
1. Keep your original kexi file in a backup folder
2. Create a new empty kexi file project using KEXI, pick location and name that
you want as destination
3. Close KEXI
4. Copy or move your backed up file to the file location and name created in
step 2, thus replacing the empty file
5. Open KEXI and click the name in the Welcome screen. 
You backed up (and restored) file should open now.
