Bug Description

File > "open recent" does not offer files that were previously edited in Inkscape, but the file and thus Inkscape were launched via the operating system (Explorer on Windows). The menu only offers files that were open using File> Open..
Open recent menu should show up every file that was edited inside Inkscape regardless of the way Inkscape and the file were launched.

OS: Win 7 64bit
Inkscape 0.48

agreed, I cannot reproduce the problem on Windows 7, Inkscape 0.91 r13725 (Jan 30 2015)

I used the right mouse button in Windows Explorer, and the Open With... menu item to start Inkscape, and the file was remembered in the Recent Files list
