Genius! This is not a bug. I am very flabbergasted to find out there is a line of "NotShowIn=GNOME;" in the desktop file since I try to debug why the start center simply don't show up in the gnome app search results. When you edit multiple kinds of office files, the start center is extremely useful. It shows up a aggregated list of recently opened office files. To access the file through the methods you proposed, I have to click multiple times and don't have a top picture of recently edited files.
If start center is not useful, why have it in the first place? Why not remove it completely from the codebase? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696250 Title: Please hide Start Center and Math Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Status in libreoffice package in Debian: Won't Fix Bug description: From GNOME Shell, open the Applications Overview and click the Show Applications button to see the list of apps. Currently, LibreOffice takes up a whole row on my computer (6 icons) which seems excessive with GNOME Shell's current design. I suggest that we do like Fedora and hide the LibreOffice Start Center and LibreOffice Math. Instead of opening a Start Center, it makes more sense for a user to just open the app they want directly. I don't think users want to create a mathematical formula just to create one, but to insert into a document so it makes more sense to start Math from within the other app. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1696250/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
