Description Dave Koelmeyer 2016-01-28 23:05:44 UTC 
Hello, 

I'm working as a partner to a corporate LibreOffice migration project. We've received positive feedback on the usefulness of the start centre document preview UI. A query has been raised however for a way to display this preview UI when LibreOffice is already running and the user wishes to open an additional document.

At present this is served by the "Recent Documents" drop-down list from within a running LibreOffice application, but the useful visual aspect of the start centre-style preview is obviously missing. Replacing or amending this list with the visual preview could be one approach. 

Please let me know if you need additional information at all. I see this query has been raised before (https://ask.libreoffice.org/en/question/41105/libreoffice-already-running-how-to-see-preview-of-recent-documents-like-startup-screen/) but I'm not sure if it ever made it into an enhancement request.

Thanks, 
Dave
