Recent documents get handled at a higher level. The NSDocumentController
is in charge of this. If you are using one and the document loading
operates via that and you still don't see documents being registered.
there are two places to look. It could be that we totally fail to
recognise that a file was loaded. This can be seen, when checking the
recent documents as stored in the user defaults for this specific
application. Or this is correct, then you will have to check the way the
recent document menu gets updated.
As far as I know none of the GNUstep sample applications has a recent
document menu. This means we just don't know whether this works at all.
