Hello,

I have an issue with clearing my recent files list in Affinity Designer 2 on my MacBook, McOS 11.7.1

I go to File/Open Recent/Clear Menu.

The list goes empty but I still have all my recent files available with the App Exposé action on the trackpad.

Thank you for reading.

This is under macOS' control and is not an issue with Affinity, it's the same for Apple's own apps like Pages and Preview. Recent items will appear there in Expose and in the Apple menu > Recent Items even if you clear recent items in a macOS application like Affinity or Pages.

Hi MikeTO, I checked it a moment ago but I don't have the same issue with Pages application or other ones under MacOS.

I just tried it with Pages and Preview so we're getting different results but I'm on Ventura and you're on Big Sur so maybe something has changed. I don't know but I don't think this is under Affinity's control.

But if running under the same OS I have Affinity performing differently from other applications, there must be some at least a problem of not complete compatibility with that OS, I guess.

I noticed this problem, too.

When I use the original Affinity apps (Photo 1.10.5, Designer 1.10.5), the App Exposé list clears whenever I select FILE->OPEN RECENT->CLEAR MENU. Note: after selecting CLEAR MENU, the CLEAR MENU item remains un-ghosted (it can still be selected, but has no effect).

When I use the Affinity version 2 apps (Photo 2.0.0, Designer 2.0.0) the App Exposé list does not clear. Note: after selecting CLEAR MENU, the CLEAR MENU item becomes ghosted (it can no longer be selected).

I am running Mac OS Big Sur, 11.7. I have both the version 1 and version 2 Affinity apps installed.

My preference is for both the Affinity OPEN RECENT menu and the App Exposé list to clear when CLEAR MENU is selected in the Affinity apps.
