Mac App StoreFWIW, there are a number of bits of information that don't always update in the Finder such as version numbers of software that were just updated, recent files, etc. I suspect it has to do with when OSX runs normal maintenance routines. A restart, or a log off then on, or a shutdown, then boot, restarting the Finder etc. may resolves it.
It's a mystery.

Mac App StoreYou're welcome. What I was trying to say is it seems to be normal behavior so updating and restarting or reinstalling isn't going to change anything.

Apr 21, 2016 10:56 AM in response to dialabrainby I-use-a-computer,Oh. There must have been a typo. Thanks for clarifying. Much appreciated.
Hard to believe that it just all of a sudden started happening out of the blue to files that never had that problem before. Anyway, I'm hoping that if I make enough noise on here someone will be able to help eventually!

Mac App StoreFWIW, I think it happened with previous versions of OSX as well. I will check later. In any case, if you'd like to mention it to Apple…
