--- Comment #15 from Jeff Fortin Tam <[email protected]> --- Just to be clear about my usecase: for me personally the concern is not privacy, but rather efficiency, by: * reducing information overload from non-existent deleted/moved documents * having more "slots" for "real/relevant contents" in the recent items list I can imagine that if that process were to take a long time on some computers, it could be done in a non-blocking thread in the background (I don't understand why it should block the UI main thread or something like that?) every now and then, a while after startup (ex: once every few 1-3 days or something?) if an autoclean checkbox is enabled in that menu. If you really really really don't want that non-blocking-background-thread approach, then I guess the middleground is having a manual "Clear Unavailable Files" action in that recent files menu, just above (or below) the "Clear List" menu action... just so that the user doesn't *need* to launch the LibreOffice general non-app-specific dashboard to access such an action (and many users might not even know or remember that it exists anyway). In that case, that action should simply be present in that menu by default in each app, no need for an option for it to be present or not... -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
