Hi Asiri, You are perfectly right that we have a coherence problem with these virtual views.
Maybe one way to solve it would be to show the last 20 pages directly in the Space view. This way if you create a new page it will show up in the space view refresh. We are kind of stuck between a view system that is not perfect (the A, B, C, D) and one that will cause performance issue (normal flat view). I think users will have to live with the caveats of the A, B, C, D system. So I propose to implement A, B, C, D + the last 20 recent pages. Maybe Guillaume can give his point of view ? WDYT ?
