Description Danat 2025-11-28 06:07:17 UTC
Description:
In this window, there is no way to search and sort and documents

I wish documents could be sorted by type: odt, docs, rtf etc.. So it may show all of them or only show some formats 

And I wish there was searching by document title like in Windows search but it finds only documents

And I wish this window could be accessed from an open document and not only from main app icon (though this is secondary)

I wish this window does not get abandoned. Thank you to whoever made it. I hope it can get some enhancements that it needs

And also I think it'd be good if it showed the dates the documents were created and last edited

I am not sure if the app currently knows that, but it can be coded without draining significant resources
