Usability Enhancement: Dropdown "Recently Opened Files" Menu From "Open" Toolbar Button
Last modified: 2008-08-28 22:41:58 UTC
KPDF (The KDE PDF reader) has a feature where if you click the "Open" button (represented by a little open folder) on the toolbar, it loads the normal "Open File..." dialog, where you can browse directories/files to choose one to open. But if you click and *hold* on the "Open" button, a dropdown menu appears, containing your recently opened files, in reverse chronological order (most recently opened first). I have found it to be a great usability enhancement. It saves me from having to go to File->Recently Opened --> The File I want (it removes a step from the process). It is very intuitive to use, and I don't see it causing any problems for users, because it would still respond normally (opening the dialog) to the usual action (clicking it)... Is this possible to implement in the OO suite?
