Allow to filter files in Recent menu/section to include only AI documents and exclude chosen formats like PDF, JPEG, TIFF, Save a Copy, etc.
Recent files should ideally be only .ai documents.
If I have exported say 10 JPEGs in my previous session, on start-up my Recent Files is over-run with those JPG file names. They all have the same thumbnail too. That's outrageous!

Currently, when using longish file names, the file extension is truncated and missing from the recent file list.
This wasn't a problem until you started including files that had been created by 'save a copy' in the list.
So now I often get 2 identically named files appearing next to each other with no way to work out which is the .pdf and which is the .ai without clicking on it - which also moves the wrong one up the recent list.
I'm just not sure files created by 'save a copy' should be there.An alternative solution would be to truncate the name but keep the file extension visible (or use some other icon to indicate the filetype).
