Description Rizal Muttaqin 2023-06-09 06:29:07 UTC 
With the introduction of tdf#38742 LibreOffice now has ability to pin any document but perhaps some type of file like in temporary folder/directory like /tmp should be blocked from pinned.

I am not sure the file on network location should be threated the same or not, but if the network connection lost, opening pinned network located file at least should give an error message.

Temporary unavailable documents can be on some external storage (USB, local network, etc), remotely stored (CMIS), and truly temporary. Only for the latter it makes sense to not pin, all other might have reasons to be _temporarily_ unavailable.

But in what scenarios are /tmp (or PATH=temp) files become added to the recent? I mean you wont store it intentionally there.

That's my scenario. I often asked to share OOXML formatted file. Instead of saving as in same location as my ODF format which add more garbage I usually Save As the file on /tmp. I would keep ODF as main format and keep updating the content againts it.
