Bug ID: 170206
Summary: Replace the 'hamburger menu' in the start center with
an appropriate control
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]

Hamburger menus for desktop applications are generally useless and ridiculous.
They are borrowed from smartphone apps where there is no screen real-estate for
controls, so they're all squelched in under one button - creating the
hamburger.
When you do have area for your controls, - toolbar, sidebar, menu bar, etc. -
there's no sense in it; plus, it will have very few items, so that it doesn't
even actually have the "hamburger-nature". So, it should be avoided.
Sometimes, a menubutton is necesary - we can use that with an appropriate icon;
sometimes, another control is appropriate, rather than opening up a small menu.
In the specific case of this bug: The LO start center currently has a corner
'hamburger' menubutton, with no arrow, offering two commands:
* Clear recent documents
* Clear unavailable files
So, just two commands, both of them "clear items of type X". We should allow
access to this command in another way. It could be two buttons, it could be one
button and a radio box selection, or something else - we can bikeshed this.
