issue #2323: Workbench Start recent list of 3 files is - after a crash - not sync with recent list in File Menu Recent list of 4 files
I tired to recreate this but didn't understand how to via the instructions. How does one "Check the contents of BaseApp -> Preferences -> RecentFiles" from the "menu Tools -> Edit Parameters"

Probably the RecentFiles parameters were not written correctly when the crash occured. In case this happens again (to you or anyone else coming here), could you:
- Open FreeCAD
- menu Tools -> Edit Parameters
- Check the contents of BaseApp -> Preferences -> RecentFiles
- Compare with the contents of menu File -> Recent Files
- Compare with the contents of the start page

Has this to do with the problem that the filelist on the start page is not rewritten after opening a file? If I open a new file, close it and select one from the start page I get the wrong file.

I cannot reproduce the original problem because it seems to only happen after a crash.
As for chrisb's problem, I also cannot reproduce... Clicking any file in the start page gives the right file here...
As far as I understand is this issue not describing a crash. It describes the filelists not being in sync after a (some, any?) crash.
I am glad that 0.17 does not crash so often, if it does I hope to remember to have a look at the filelists.
To be honest: If this is the case after a crash I don't really see an issue on it's own, if it gets synced on the second restart. The crash is the problem, and if it is fixed, nothing gets out of sync.
The situation is different, if the filelist stays out of sync, but this has to be confirmed or better: to be disproved.
