After all, it seems there's not much to this. Perhaps I've missed a
whole lot?
Listing Application documents vs All:
Does this require a separate request for enhancement (RFE)?.
"Why can't the Recent Documents list be segregated by application? When
I am in a Calc window, I am generally not interested in documents I have
recently opened in Writer. (For example, right now I am in Calc and the
Recent Documents list only contains 10 Text Documents.) The program
should maintain segregated lists for Spreadsheets, Text Documents,
Drawings, Presentations, etc."
Comment: It would enhance the software if the user had options regarding
recent files. A user could elect to have only recent documents
pertaining to the particular application displayed. Why must it be one
way or the other?
Having a much longer list would not be a substitute. The suggested menu
change:
"If I have been working on a spreadsheet and then have to handle text
documents, when I go back to Calc I would like to recall the
spreadsheets I was working on. Maybe the menu could say-
Recent Documents > This App >
> All Apps > "
Comment: I would prefer a separate menu item so that the choice of which
list is displayed is made and only one list can be displayed. This
interferes less with ordinary use by the great number of users. If the
first is chosen, a different list is displayed anyway on changing
applications.
Recent Documents > List
Document List > This Application
> All Applications
Number of Documents Listed and Reset

Comment: Some want more, some want less, some want none. The number
could go into Options since it would normally be set only occasionally.
"Clear" could be added, as proposed, below the list.
An appropriate category would be Tools >Options >OOo >Memory >Document
List >Number of Documents
An extra degree of flexibility could be obtained by adding an option to
the File >Open dialogue: Add to document history [select / deselect].
My files list includes 3 files which I will probably never open again.
This would also accomodate privacy / security concerns. Does this
require a separate RFE?
