Priority: medium
Bug ID: 73218
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: START CENTER: no file extensions displayed - cannot
distinguish between file types
Severity: enhancement
Classification: Unclassified
OS: All
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.2.0.0.beta2
Component: UI
Product: LibreOffice
The new start center shows icons and names of the recent files. A nice feature.
Current status:
Start Center in LO42 does not show file extensions, which is for me very
annoying:
1. I often convert files: in such a case two icons with the same names are
displayed - I do not know, which is which
2. I do not know meaning of all icons, so I do not know type of the file.
Thus, I have to open the file to find out.
Suggested solution:
This can be easily solved by keeping the extension. Eventually, if some users
really like hidden extensions, make it a configurable option - I would
recommend that it defaults to 'show'.
For me this is a step towards the Microsoft approach, where they hide the
extension (and file formats, too) which I find to be one of their worst
features.
