When I open a txt-file directly via address-bar of thunar with Featherpad, then I get no entry in "recently opened files" ([recent:///](recent:///)). However, if I do the same with a mousepad, it works as expected. System: Xfce 4.18; thunar 4.18.4 **How to reproduce:** 1. Install the txt-Editor Featherpad 2. Open thunar 3. configure thunar: \ 3a) right click on a txt-file \ 3b) -\> open with \ 3c) -\> set default \ 3d) select Featherpad \ 3e) check the option "Use by default for files of this type" \ 3f) press the "open button" \ 3g) thunar is now configured in a way, that \*.txt files are opened with Featherpad Now the issue follows: 4. Click with the mouse pointer in the **_address bar_** of thunar 5. type in a path to a file. For **_example /home/user/folder/MyFile.txt_** (If you have this file) 6. press the **_enter button_** on the keyboard 7. Look into [recent:///](recent:///) --- The file MyFile.txt is not in the list. Expectation: The file will be in this list. Edit: The same happens, if I open a \*.doc file with the programme Textmaker 2021 from SoftmakerOffice (https://www.pcmag.com/reviews/softmaker-office). (It's an alternative for MS Word.)
