Recent files, don't actually show the most recent file

Recent files list don't actually show the most recent file. I think files opened from email or API don't show in the ist ... MIA.

There have been many good ideas requested by other users but you mark them as "Resolved" instead of "Rejected". Just pointing to a style guide or help page that is incorrect is not solving anybodies problem.

We will keep creating new requests for these missing features and bugs until you listen and REALLY FIX them. Often they seem quiet trivial but are great time savers for some users. Please leave them as "Unresolved" unless you actually fix them. I find your level of customer support extremely small compared to your user base which fuels the frustration shown in some requests.

Thanks,
Tim

    Is there any way to enable temp locations in the Recent Files list?

  • BrooksL commented  ·   ·  Report

    I've experienced numerous problems with the Recent Files list not including the currently selected file, then overnight (for example), the server connection is temporarily lost or something happens with Acrobat and it can not resume viewing the file; and since there is still not a File>>Reload/Refresh command, I look to the Recent Files list, but the file is not there, forcing me to close and retraverse the file locating navigation process again. :-/

    I have the same problem. And this is about files from my document folder, not temporary ones. Plus Adobe shuts down without asking me. So annoying!!

    Hi Tim
    Thank you for your valuable feedback.

    For files shown in recent files list, we do not show any files opened from temporary locations (example, from email attachments) in recent files list. This is by design, to avoid other potential issues when user performs actions on such files.

    Can you share an example of opening files via API so that we can check that?

    Thanks,
