Description

Your idea

When a score is downloaded from musescore.com, it does not show up in the "New & recent" tab in the "Scores" section of Musescore. I instead have to go hunt around for it in my files directly. This is even worse when transferring a whole portfolio to a new device, in which case the user has to manually open a dozen or more scores/projects just to get them to appear in the new and recent tab. Recently downloaded, new scores should appear in the new and recent tab, and should not need to be opened first before appearing.

Problem to be solved

See above.
