Title: shortcut files with extension .qea don't get registered in the Recent files
Post by: Geert Bellekens on September 01, 2025, 06:16:35 pm

In version 17.1.1713, when you open a shortcut file with extension .qea, it does not get registered in the Recent files section.
After changing the extension to .eap it worked as expected.

Steps to Reproduce
- Connect to a SQL Server database model
- Save the connection as a shortcut with .qea  extension
- clear the recent files section
- use Open File to open the shortcut file
- notice that the Recent files section remains empty
- change extension to .eap
- open the .eap shortcut file
- notice that the Recent Files section now mentions the model opened using the .eap shortcut file.

Pretty sure that that's the issue. The save as shortcut should only allow .eap.

This is already the case since v16 with EAP shortcut files
