Hi, When I am in a LibO application (e.g. Calc) and choose File > Recent Documents, the list presented is of ALL the data file types (e.g. Writer.doc Impress.ppt Base.mdb etc.) and not just the recent RELEVANT ones (e.g. Calc.xls Budget.xls ). I have searched and searched, and can not find out how to turn this all-mixed-up-together "feature" OFF. It is illogical and disadvantageous to me, even though others argue that there are benefits to it. My chances of finding the recent relevant data file that I need are reduced to about 1/5... i.e. 10 files / ( Calc's + Base's + Impress's + Writer's + Draw's ) = Only 2 probably relevant files If this "feature" can't be removed, or disabled by the user, then please increase the Recent Documents list size to 50, so that users can at least have the same benefit that MicroSloth Office provides. Thanks very much, Carl Turney, Melbourne, Australia
That works as designed. I would regard your report as a request for enhancement. There's an extension 'History Master'[1] with the requested features; e.g.: <quote> - Change the size of each list from 0 to 100 - Find recent documents of a same type in one of the lists. </quote> [1] 'History Master' - http://bernard.marcelly.perso.sfr.fr/HM/index.html
@Carl Turney I've received your PM, thanks. How to proceed with your bug report? I would see these possibilities: 1. We could change the field 'importance' from 'normal' to 'enhancement' (a request for enhancement) 2. We could change the field 'Status' to 'RESOLVED NOTABUG' or 'RESOLVED INVALID' (the problem described is not a bug; works as designed) 3. We could change the field 'Status' to 'RESOLVED WORKSFORME' (due to the extension 'History Master').
Modified to NEEDINFO
needinfo keyword redundant by needinfo status.
The provider communicated to me (via PM): "[...] I got it to work. [...]" [apparently with the mentioned extension] No activities for a 'request for enhancement'... RESOLVED NOTABUG CLOSED
