Why recents folder isn't recent folder ?

Hi, maybe I could be the first person to explain this problem about recents files into finder.

The screenshot can maybe explain better this issue.


I worked on a two different PSD files in external drive, I saved two jpg files for each PSD. You can see the date of last edit or date of creation. Nothing is correct because i must open these file (showed on 2 of 4 jpg) and after I can se in the "Recents" folder group by last edit or creation date or last added... same result: the new files generated by other apps don't showed in this fast filter "Recents". Useless


Yosemite always work!

I send a feedback for Mojave macOS


Thanks

Thank you, but this problem is determinated by the software Adobe (happen also with new video filmed by quicktime) or by a deprecated setting of macOS?

That's what I thought I said. The App has to write the metadata when the file is created. Or, Finder writes the metadata when you open the file.


I can't imagine Adobe will update their software to write the metadata as they depended on a decade old version of Java to make their apps run.


You can create your own Smart Folder that searches for create date or modified date, then sort the folder by that date, descending.

I upload a video that show how it work (for example 1 screenshot and 1 file word are added to list), and a screen of Yosemite with same process of saving a PSD files. (tested and compared right now). So fine metadata.


Do I really have to give up? Can it fixed or reported to software developers who lose this convenience?
