Where does Evince store its memory/cache of recent files that its loaded
in bullseye please? Currently it is only showing the last file, but
under Debian 10 it showed the last 10.

Thanks
Sharon Kimble.

I'd expect this to be behind some DBus complications. There is a Freedesktop
spec for "recent files" (AFAIR it has been also merged with "bookmarks").

Perhaps your Evince isn't capable of talking (this is the part which usually
happens over DBus) to the storage.

May be starting the thing from the command line and plowing through its
warning stream sheds some light.

Probably doesn't help, but who knows?

In my Bullseye, if I type "evince" into xterm, it shows over 50 files.
But I have no idea from whence the come.

I'm not running Bullseye but in Stretch recent documents for Evince are
stored here:

~/.local/share/recently-used.xbel

Things may have changed, though, in recent years.
