Why is the history open file record of the Expos é interface missing?

Now you can only see the most recent file records since the last time you closed the application

I'm not sure I understand which History you're talking about. There's the History within a file, which is only saved with an Affinity document (.afpub, .afphoto, .afdesign) if you enable File > Save History with Document after you Open or create the file and before you do the Save. It works the same in V1 and V2.

Or are you referring to Recent Documents, as in File > Open Recent?

I mean that in the Exposé interface of each application under macOS, you can see the thumbnail of the recently opened files, but in the latest update, it only displays the records of the recently opened files since the opening of Affinity Designer. This is a very important function for me, because the thumbnails of these files can be quickly previewed only in Exposé, and the thumbnails of the recently opened files in the welcome interface of Designer need to be loaded for a long time.

Thanks for the clarification. I'm hampered by not being a Mac user, and not knowing the proper term in English for Exposé, which have caused my confusion. I will defer to a Mac user

By default, the mac user needs to press control+DOWN⬇️ to enter Expo é

I have never really understood what is happening with the Expose function. It seems to vary by application, some show me what is in the File > Open  Recent...>. Others show only the files which are still available, meaning that they have not been deleted.  Still others show me files which were closed with, or without, saving and subsequently deleted. I don't know what the engineers at Apple were expecting this to do.

As a result of my confusion I have never used it so I can't say that Affinity is showing normal or abnormal behaviour.

@gerley On my system using control + ↓ doesn't show any recent docs below the app window. I believe this is because one of the first things I always do is to sent the recent items to 0 as I don't like any displayed. On another system running Ventura and our V2 apps they show as recent items is being used.
