Among all macOS apps and their weird choices, finder is the most enigmatic one. The Recents tab sorts by Last Opened by default where I would expect to see the rencently added files first. Sorting by another column will not add said column to the view. Files from the Downloads folders seems to be excluded from Recents, or they take hours to be taken into account.

It does not show the current path, no button to go up the file tree, the only text input is behind this search button and it does not understand relative or full paths.

Well, thank god I have a terminal and an IDE at hand.
