recent files missing

[krow14]

I've tried going into the preferences after looking at the answers on here to find the solution, but there was a change in the general setting from there being a check mark to something called; " show start work space when no documents are present ". I've updated yesterday and since opening today to do some stuff I havent been able to see my recent drawings in a small thumbnail. Now I'm not the best at being organized or naming files and what not so im just wondering if there is something to change this feature. Thank you and have a nice day.

Are you thinking of Photoshop for iPad?

We seem to be confused. Can you show a screen shot of what you are actually seeing? Maybe we can figure out what you are looking for.

Just adding m'self to this long list of users who are disconcerted that the latest update has removed our most joyous first page of thumbnails we get to see and select to work on.
Loved that screen... seeing all the files I've been working on... right there.
Loved it! Miss it!

WHY???!!! 

[Kevin Stohlmeyer]

If you are talking about the Home Screen you can set that in Preferences/General Auto Show Home Screen...

[shadowsofthesun]

While Kevin's statement is accurate, it's not addressing the actual issue of the home screen no longer showing recently used files.

[charlesy6794471]

unfortunately, 22.4.3 has the issue! I've tried all the various workarounds and have not found anyway to bring it back currently. 

Argh, this was one of the recent additions that I thought was really helpful. Having it disappear again is... frustrating to say the least.

I have updated to the latest version of Photshop CC2021 on my Macbook Pro running Big Sur OS

I have noticed on opening PSD and the home page apperars, the Recents tabs of previous work I have done, are now missing.

Is this a problem with the llatest update or do I need to activate sometimg?

The tab in Preferences / General / Shw Recent Files Workspace When Opening A File,    is no longer there?

Please advise

Hi Mitch,

We're sorry about the trouble with Photoshop. Is the application opening directly with the toolbar to the left or do you see the home screen but not the Recents panel?

Would you mind checking the suggestion offered in this discussion https://community.adobe.com/t5/photoshop-ecosystem/recent-files-missing/td-p/12196713/page/2 and let us know if that helps?

If the issue persists, you can try to reset the preferences of Photoshop manually using the steps mentioned here: Preferences

Please backup your settings prior to resetting the preferences. You can check: Migrate presets, actions, and settings

Let us know how it goes!

Regards,

Akash

According to Adobe, they are aware of the Issue.

Attached are 2 images [1] what PSD loks like and

[2 Illustrator] what it should look like, just like illustrator

Really frustrating, it is as if Adobe don't know their products

Also in Preferences, 'Show Recent Files Workspace When Opening A File' tick box is missing from Preference / General.    It was there before recent update

W10, 22.4.3 - Home Screen, Your Work - No thumbnails of recent work as eveyone here is saying. Just spent 3 hours with Adobe support both chat line and then almost 2 hours with remote access. Got nowhere then he just abandoned me. After the 3 hours I really can't afford the time to read everything above but one might have expected some testing before release. Oh, perhaps support should be appraised of the issue soon.

[shadowsofthesun]

Also having this issue in 22.4.3 on Windows 10. Recent files still accessible via the File > Open Recent menu, but the thumbnails sure were more convenient. Hopefully Adobe brings this back!

[BAMimages · Accepted solution]

Hurrahhhh, the recent file thumbnails are back!  Obviously a glitch in the new update which Adobe have now rectified. 

Now I just need to get Liquify to work without having to hold down the Alt key first (so far none of the suggested fixes have worked).

[shan24k]

I was just coming here to say the same thing! Yay recent files are back! Finally! 🙂

You do realize you've admitted to stealing software on the company's site right?

Sounds like your cracked version is affecting your current version.

Here is a site that can help:

Hi @Pirate_FTW 

There is a glitch in this version with showing recents in the Home Screen, although the do show up in File > Recents, but first let's address the other issue. Try this:

• Quit and uninstall from the CC app
• Run the Cleaner tool to get rid of everything from your prior installation
  https://helpx.adobe.com/creative-cloud/kb/cc-cleaner-tool-installation-problems.html
• Reinstall PS from the CC app

As for the Recent File not appearing on the Home Screen, this is a reported bug in the current version. Do the recent files appear in File > Recent?

. 

There is a thread on the feedback forum that the developers will see and you can add your comments to Adobe here

https://feedback.photoshop.com/conversations/photoshop/recent-work-not-showing-home-page-has-nothing...     

Until Adobe fixes the bug, you can:

• roll back to a previous version using the CC app
  https://helpx.adobe.com/download-install/using/install-previous-version.html

• use Adobe Bridge, which will display thumbnails. You can also rank, filter, and sort the images.

Adobe fixed it with a now update of the Creative a Cloud app!

[morganm46339060]

i don't see any updates over here. frustrating.

[Guest]

I have my CC to update automatically, and usually does so overnight. Often I don't even see an update that's been applied. It's just "there". Any chance you have yours set up the same way and it's actually been updated?

[morganm46339060]

Never mind. I just checked and the Recent thumbnails are back. I guess we're a day or two behind up here. lol.

<LOL> I'm a Canuck as well. Electrons get delayed going through Customs at the border 😄  .
