Steps to replicate the issue (include links if applicable):
It gets plenty of results.
What should have happened instead?:
It should also list
https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Fence_along_the_Montana%E2%80%93Alberta_border_-_19940726.jpg
but that is totally missing. One wonders what else is missing.
Software version (skip for WMF-hosted wikis like Wikipedia):
Other information (browser name/version, screenshots, etc.):
Maybe too many odd characters in the missing file's URL?
Wait, something redirects to it,
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=File:19940726cardston.jpg&redirect=no
but that isn't in the results either.
https://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/API:Allimages doesn't mention anything special.
Someone else uploaded a new revision of that missing file after you uploaded it - maybe that's why it's not showing up?
That one doesn't seem to be an actual file, just a redirect page.
The doc just says:
aiuser:
Only return files uploaded by this user. Can only be used with aisort=timestamp. Cannot be used together with aifilterbots.
It doesn't say it only checks the newest version. Maybe it should say that in the doc.
So what second call should I use to reach out in the dark and also grab cases like that?
OK, I can use
https://commons.wikimedia.org/w/index.php?title=Special%3AContributions&target=Jidanni&namespace=6&newOnly=1&start=2007-05-31&end=2007-08-01&limit=5 and there it is on top.
The underlying issue is tracked as T67121: API: allow listing of all files uploaded by user similar to the $showAll option in SpecialListfiles.php

Not sure if you have a better API-based option than that.
@Tgr Thanks for updating the doc!
,,, formatversion=2...
OK, but one then needs to weed out duplicates. OK, I'll add ucshow=new.
