I lately had 8 recent files - guess I had no more I´m working on yet. Does macOS Preferences->General->Recent Items number (increase) help? Mine is set to 10 which seems the default value as I didn´t change it.

@EllenM that's a great point, but when i checked mine was set to 10 and i only ever see 5 in Pixelmator Pro. i appreciate your reply.

I could be wrong - but just open an image and close without any editing and saving seems not counting to appear in the "recent file" list if that´s what you expect.

i think you're on to something here. i'm going to experiment based on this and see if the count goes over 5. thanks for your help.
