The menu "recent files" is not updated on history updates, only with 1 file delay.

Having looked at Padre::Task::RecentFiles,

• it is clear that the last 100 files are selected from config-db history and compared against the Padre current documents.

• to produce a list of 9 items, which is referred to as File->Recent Files

alternatively you could have just done the following

$self->{history} = Padre::DB::History->recent( 'files', $self->{want} );

which would be the same as other software, where 5 is norm not 9.

Hence Sewi, I think it works as intended.

But not as one would expect, I think.

Padre::Task::RecentFiles? is launched when a file is opened and skips files currently open.

It is not launched if a file is closed, so the list is not updated - and the last recent opened file is missing.
