Description Robert Orzanna 2016-06-20 05:56:58 UTC 
Dear all, 

Why does Calc show `docx` files in the `Recent Documents` menu entry?

`docx` files are not opened in Calc but in Writer.

Thus to me it is more logical if Calc would only Calc-compatible files and Writer only Writer-compatible files. 

What do you think?

Thankfully,

~Robert

Hi Robert,

This behaviour is because LibreOffice is one program.
When working in Calc users may as well want to open a recent presentation or text file. And that simply works.

Regards,
Cor

Dear Cor, 

I very appreciate your response!

If people want to open a related document or presentation, wouldn't they then rather open the respective program (Writer and Impress) to search there for these files?

Maybe people used to an other office-program.. yes. But once you know better ;)

Hey Cor, 

Alright I won't argue any further. ;-)

Thanks!
