Hello Peter!
I thought about this a little. I think to mix up both behaviours is not simple anymore for users. I dislike the implicity of the approach. For a new user it is not transperent that OpenOffice will take the recent document into account.
Hmm. Have you ever used the URL field? Since it is hidden per default I think that most users don't know what they could do with this.
There would be no new mixup. If you click at the arrow of the dropdown box you get a long history. But If you write inside the URL bar you will get (only) autocomplete results for your file system – but for this you must type the complete path. If you type something that not begins with a path/URL identifier you get nothing. And at this point AOO should simply look into the history what filenames matches with this input.
what I could imagine would be a virtual folder Recent documents, that would contain a list with all entries from recent document List. You can work with this folder and search as you are used to.
Why? This list exists inside the URL field! Regards, Mathias --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: dev-unsubscr...@openoffice.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: dev-h...@openoffice.apache.org
