Hi is there a reason why incremental saves don't show up in "recent files" after you exit krita?

Well, they would pretty quickly overwhelm the recent files list -- it's meant to be used like a tic or a twitch.

I was thinking more along the lines of the having the most recent incremental, replacing the original (in the recent file list that is), rather than having the entire list of incremtnals displaying in recent files, which ofcourse would be ridiculous. lol
