Sorry about the long title, I don't know how else to phrase it.
I edit PDFs for some technical manuals and say I have "Chapter 6.pdf" selected, and then I edit it, that particular file now has a new creation date, when I close the file it is no longer selected.
When I'm writing a manual there might be a long list of PDFs, and I usually rename them after editing and it would be useful to have the file still selected. I have the files sorted by new, so I can go back to the oldest files and see if they need editing - but I need to rename the file I just worked on.
Does this make sense? I can try to make a small video of what I'm talking about using a freeware file manager called Salamander from 1998.
