And once again, all past recent documents are gone.
I realize this has to do with appimage foo, but XDG standardpaths is a thing. Sigh.
I’m an application maintainer myself so i speak not just from the vantage of an annoyed user.
Recent sketches get intentionally reset after each update:
Why it was done this way, I don’t know. This is the first time someone asked about it,
and the fix probably is easy.
It has nothing to do with XDG standardpaths.

I believe that intentionally doing it would border on being an insult.
I just looked it up and it appears as if you CAN use XDG paths and I don’t understand why one would not?
I’m currently working on 6 concurrent projects and now have to go and hunt and peck. It’s not the end of the world, but it throws me off my stride.
EDIT: for reference, fritzing goes with
~/.config/Fritzing/
Which will work with $HOME or $XDG_CONFIG_HOME using QT standardpaths.
I’m not certain what’s happening now, but 1.0.6 doesn’t produce a recent sketches list AT ALL anymore. I had done a bit of testing going back and forth from 1.0.3-1.0.6, but stopped to complete a project. That one I had started in 1.0.6 and continued. Neither of the two sketches I’ve been working on since appear in a recent sketches menu.
EDIT, just in time, that issue seems resolved. The last power down (halt -p) seems to have produced the impression (!) in Fritzing that a file was (possibly) corrupted. Now that file (but not the other is in the recent files menu. Sigh.
