Description Heiko Tietze 2024-06-21 09:58:29 UTC 
Follow-up to bug 159120: I suggest to add a command to toggle ShowCurrentModuleOnly in the MRU menu labelled "[x] Current module only" or "[x] Only %1 documents" with a replacement to the current module.
Comment 1 V Stuart Foote 2024-06-21 10:20:07 UTC 
Provide the UI alternative to toggle of the expert configuration stanza ShowCurrentModuleOnly
Comment 2 m_a_riosv 2024-06-21 14:41:51 UTC 
As I exposed in the related bug, I think having the option selectable in the Recent Documents dropdown, or in the icon dropdown to open files, could be most visible for the users, without need to search for it.
Comment 3 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2024-07-29 01:46:54 UTC 
Taking the liberty to set this one to "high" as 159120 already has 6 comments (including me) complaining (with variable intensity :) ) about the change.

...however, I'm wondering about the logic with the horizontal line placement: there are Writer files both above and below it.
Heiko, do you know what's going on there?

Maybe those files are favorites?
