Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 49785
Adding Recent Documents to Toolbar does not work
Last modified: 2017-05-20 11:31:02 UTC
From the menu Tools.Customize.Toolbars.Standard Add Application.RecentDocuments Adding Recent Documents to the toolbar, and giving it an icon to make a shortcut to Clicking on File, and navigating the mouse thru the narrow corridor to bring up Recent document list. But clicking on the resulting icon Does Not bring up any dialog box, or (more preferably) a drop box (like clicking on the down-arrow next to New).
confirming with m110 (linux). You can add the item "Recent Documents" to the toolbar, but is is non-functional. You can click it but nothing happens. It doesn't have a "long-click indicator" either. -> confirming, rassigning to framework.
Hi sandreas41, thanks for using and supporting OpenOffice.org... As discussed with cj: there should be only the possibility to add this item if the resulting list ("recent documents") is displayable... IMHO there are 2 ways to solve this: - don't allow "recent documents" to be added to a toolbar... - provide the possibility of displaying the list of revent documents... IMHO having such a button is a very nice idea :) reassigned to cd... mci->cd: Hi cd, I think this is one for you... please take over...
Since the New button has a drop down arrow, I thought the Open button should too. It would be the most logical place to put it. Of course, this suggestion sounds more like an enhancement, than a defect like the original observation. mci: A nice idea? Thanks!!
cd: The recent file list "command" is only intended for menu configuration and not toolbar. So we have to remove this entry from toolbar configuration dialog. It would need a new implementation to enable it to be usable from a toolbar button.
Not important enough for a micro release
issue still there in OOo3 Beta cd wrote: cd: The recent file list "command" is only intended for menu configuration and not toolbar. So we have to remove this entry from toolbar configuration dialog.

Many open-source editors implement this (most with a drop-down on "open" button) and this is really useful. hope this will be solved, one day :-)
add mathiasm to cc

see also issue 69168, which addresses the solution with an drop-down for the open button.
