dash home lens does not include recent files...

...until visiting files lens

Seems obvious that it should show recent files without having to visit the files lens.

Oh, forgot to mention that recent files will also appear after loading a file, eg text file in Gedit.

Can you clarify what you are looking for? You would like the recent files to be shown with the shortcuts on the dash home?

[Nick (soapduk)]

Yes. The new dash home lens for 12.04 contains recent apps as well as
recent files but the recent files do not display by default for me.

Downloading a file will also cause both the 'recent files' & 'recent downloads' to appear. Likewise, loading a file or changing lens will cause recent files and downloads to appear, when user moves back to the 'home' lens.
