[Bug 143495] [UI] On startup, showing recent documents, please allow selection of a set to open rather than just one
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143495 --- Comment #18 from Mike Kaganski --- (In reply to steve from comment #16) No. There are several shortcuts (e.g. EXEs on Windows), that all eventually call soffice.bin with required command line switches to initiate required module in a single monolithic app. This is the same on all platforms (including macOS), even if filenames could differ. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143495 --- Comment #14 from steve --- > Every time I restart LO, and see the whole set of my recent documents, > including the set of several documents I had open, I wish I could select all > those I had open last time. Wondering, wouldn't the solution be to re-open all documents that were open, last time LibreOffice was closed? Just tested this with a recent main build and with two saved writer documents open, after closing and re-opening LibreOffice, start-center does show and neither document is loaded. This feels unexpected. When I close an app on macOS and re-open the app I'd expect to return to the last state I was at, i.e. re-open both writer documents. Although I double checked and Apple Pages does not re-open the document which was still open before closing the app. The reason document re-open is discussed is, because it would cover the request to keep documents open for a longer time, when continuously working on them and avoid cluttering the start-center UI with additional options. Additional complexity has already been mentioned: while on macOS LibreOffice is a single app, on windows, linux it consists of single components, making a re-open of documents more complex and error prone. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

With all due respect, I disagree that we should not implement some easier option, just because there could be some more complex feature covering the goal. So please Mike, next time think twice and shut up.

And I have to admit that a right click on multiple selection is acceptable UX. That means you shift/ctrl click the documents and open it per context menu.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143495 --- Comment #7 from Mike Kaganski --- "Restore workspace" might be a ~reasonable feature on its own; however, I believe that implementing bug 77590 - i.e. making Start Center accessible when having documents open - would make the task outlined here much easier, since opening one document, one could return to the start center and continue opening documents (and even a mode could be implemented when opening a document from start center would not switch to the newly opened document, but stay at the start center). So my preference would be to implement that one first. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

What I could imagine is to restore the last "workspace". However, modules can be closed individually and there is probably no chance to know whether the user clicked Exit or Close. And this workflow could result in trouble when the application crashes. Mike, what do you think? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143495 --- Comment #5 from Luke Kendall --- In my original suggestion, I mentioned a checkbox to choose. There was no suggestion to make it automatic. I don't really understand why you're suggesting it would be automatic, or why you think opening the same documents you had open last time, and closed via Exit (or which were closed via Logout, system shutdown, or even a power failure), should be a problem for reliability? Maybe you're assuming that LO crashed? Surely that happens less often than a graceful exit? I don't see how either of my suggested approaches for the feature would affect reliability, as the user still has full control. I simply proposed two UI methods for being able to choose to open the same set of documents you had open last session. The main point of my suggestion is not to grow the picklist from which the user can select each file to open one by one, but an ability to select the same set the user had open last time. It's up to you, I just wanted to clarify my suggestion. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs

Automatically reopening some set of documents that had previously been open on LO close (or crash) would be problem prone. The thumbnail views are taken from the MRU list recorded to Histories:Info['PickList']/ItemListHistory in the user profile.

https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=143495 --- Comment #1 from Luke Kendall --- I just realised the UX benefit would be slightly larger, as often times I have files open for weeks or even months, so several of the files I had open when I exited LibreOffice are certainly not in the Recent Documents menu items. It's even possible that some might not be visible in the set of documents displayed to choose from, when starting up with no file. So another UI solution might to record the set of documents that were open just before exit, and re-opening that same set? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.___ Libreoffice-bugs mailing list Libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/libreoffice-bugs
