Description John 2024-11-16 17:20:32 UTC
Description:
I use LibroOffice a lot. I volunteer with two main organizations. I would love to have two windows open up on entry to LibroOffice instead of only one. If I had two half-page windows with all my documents, I could dedicate a window to each body of work. As it is now, I have to search through one screen-sized window to find the document I want to work on.

I am wondering if this is a modification that LiboOffice would want to undertake.

Thanks for all you do. I am looking forward to your answer.

Actual Results:
Upon entry to LibroOffice it would be nice to be able to see multiple file icon windows to enable separation of work tasks.

Expected Results:
This feature doesn't exist presently.  I am asking for a new feature.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

LibreOffice (LO) provides an internal "Most Recently Used" (MRU) menu entry linked to user profile (defaults to 25 entries, with filtering available).
 
Additionally LO integrates with os/DE provided document handling, e.g. JumpLists from MS Windows and DE file associations.

The LO provided StartCenter launch panel provides GUI thumbnail views of the contents of its internal MRU listing. Otherwise the MRU thumbnails are not available.

Enhancement of dupe bug 77590 would provide GUI access the MRU from any other LO module instead of only on initial LO launch.
