Description

I noticed that if you drag and drop files in Fiji it does not show up in the open recent menu, for IJ1 style this command would give the path to the open file: imp.getOriginalFileInfo().fileName which can then show up in open recent menu. For IJ2, you can convert it to old ImagePlus and then show it in open recent perhaps?

Research direction

Start by tracing the IJ2 drag-and-drop open flow and the Open Recent menu, using the mentioned IJ1 entry point, imp.getOriginalFileInfo().fileName, as a reference. Determine how a dropped file's path should be retained and verify that it appears in Open Recent; the issue names no source file or test, so the relevant code and test entry points must be located first.
