App.open doesn't update Recent Files list

Photoshop UXP Plugin API
1

I recently realized that opening files through UXP (app.open), feeding it a list of UXPFileEntry, doesn’t update the Recent Files list. Can someone please help check whether I am doing something wrong, missing something, or if this is a bug/missing feature from Adobe’s side?

Thank you!

Other info:

  • Both File -> Open Recent and the Recent page when you first open Photoshop are not updated.
  • sample code:
    • // Get files to open
    const lfs = require('uxp').storage.localFileSystem;
const files = await lfs.getFileForOpening({allowMultiple: true});
    // Imports 
    const exeModal = require('photoshop').core.executeAsModal;
const app = require('photoshop').app
const psAction = require("photoshop").action;
    // Open documents 
    try{
  await exeModal(async function(){
  if (files.length > 0) {
    for (let i = 0; i < files.length; i ++){
      const newDocument = await app.open(files[i]);                                                                                                                                             
    }
  }
}, {"commandName": "Opening selected file..."});} catch(e){
  app.showAlert(`Failed to open some files!`);
};
