Description Robert Großkopf 2022-10-28 15:58:35 UTC
There is a new filter in StartCenter. You could show all documents, Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw - but there is no possibility to show Base-documents or formula-documents without all these other documents.

A filter should be able to change between all kind of documents, which could be created. I'm missing a filter for all my databases. Others will need a filter for formula. Seems these documents have been forgotten.

More or less intentional as it originally filters templates. But I admit that when showing recent files it would be nice to have such option too.

We currently keep the filter when switching from template to recent and back, you always see Writer content, for example. Wouldn't work in case of Base and we have to go back to All Documents in this case.

Maybe an easy to hack with FILTER_APPLICATION in include/sfx2/templatelocalview.hxx. Hossein, what do you think?

The patch to filter the view is here https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/139730.
