Description Paul 2016-04-24 16:39:23 UTC
I like the idea of the Start Center, where one has access to all LO modules and recent documents. But I find the current mandatory thumbnail layout wastes space  and is unwieldy. 

I would like to see the option of a Details view, where one would see the file name, size and path in one line. It would look much like a standard file manager.

I would also like to have the ability to Pin important files at the top, for quick access regardless of when they were last opened.

As a luxury, a popup showing the thumbnail upon hovering could be considered.

Thanks.

I can not find duplicate, seems resonable to me.

I find the current interface for the Start Center to be mostly useless with the large, ambiguous icons -- when several files have similar names and content (different versions of the same file, for instance) there is no way to distinguish them from the cartoon.  

I would also like to have Details view, that allows me to see the type of information I have been accustomed to since the DOS days.
