The Gallery has a lot of junk items by default. And - even if it didn't, many users don't like some of the gallery items, and would like to be able to delete them via the Gallery sidebar UI. Yet - that's not possible. It should be. I realize, of course, that the default items in the gallery are shared, and are not user-specific. But we can have user-specific information about which shared gallery items have been deleted by the user, so that they don't appear in the user's view of the gallery. (If the strategy of bug 131529 is adopted, there will be no share and implementing this should be easy; but - I don't necessarily support that approach.)
Whether adding or deleting, you change content in the read-only space. => DUP of bug 131529

(In reply to m.a.riosv from comment #2) > Sorry, who are the many users? Fair point. s/many users/all users I have asked about various gallery items, and I believe many users overall/ but I trust you're not claiming that all but a few users of the gallery like all gallery items...?
Dear Eyal Rozenberg, To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year. There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present. If you have time, please do the following: Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/ If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice. Please DO NOT Update the version field Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker) Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not appropriate in this case) If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so: 1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/ 2. Test your bug 3. Leave a comment with your results. 4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo'; 4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone! Warm Regards, QA Team MassPing-UntouchedBug
Still no ability to delete items from the gallery as of: Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha1+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: cf56ab4c9e29cb076c3f986a75ade58d997cb43c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.12; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-IL (en_IL); UI: en-US I should mention that if LO would allow spawning a file manager to the gallery folder, with labeling suggesting that it's legitimate to simply delete files from there, that could be an acceptable solution.
