--- Comment #2 from Milan Bouchet-Valat <[email protected]> 2011-10-30 02:14:34 PDT --- I think my proposition is not completely redundant with Bug 37222 - UI: Possibility to open exported PDF in a simple way immediately after export required The idea is that when you're done with a document, you often want to create a PDF of it that you save somewhere, and e-mail or publish it. You often want to rename the file before sending it, in which case you need to save it first. Adding the PDF to the recent docs allows you to attach it to an e-mail easily by choosing it in the recent docs list (at least with the GtkFileChooser, not sure elsewhere). Same if you want to publish the file on a website, e.g. Google docs. The more general argument is that recent docs should contain all files you touched in a way or another. It should reflect your activity on documents. This is especially important on Linux where e.g. Zeitgeist logs everything you do, and uses the recent documents to track that (else, it would need a LO extension just for that). In GNOME Shell, typing a few letters of the file name in the overview is enough to find a recent document; but if it's not added to the list, you have to find it manually. This is the same on Windows Vista and Seven, with the search entry in the Start menu, and on Mac OS X with the search bar in the top panel. Last but not least, I can't find any reasonable argument against that feature. If that PDF file wasn't interesting for you, you'd have used the File->E-mail as... feature. Or you'd have removed the file, which makes it disappear from the recent docs. -- Configure bugmail: https://bugs.freedesktop.org/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are the assignee for the bug. _______________________________________________ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
