This just happened to me:
- I saved two files in GIMP;
- I opened the upload dialogue in Firefox;
- the files were not present in "recent files" but were in "Today".
The files were saved four minutes ago as I write this and they still haven't
appeared in "recent files". So I can confirm that the issue that I reported
earlier is as I described it.
