            Bug ID: 118894
           Summary: Enhancements to the recently used list (picklist) on
                    the Start Center
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: medium
         Component: UI
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

I have two picklist suggestions for the Start Center.

The goal is to keep the Start Center picklist clean, while preserving entries
for important files.

1. Add a way to PIN entries on the Start Center

If a user opens many files of varies types, the Start Center quickly gets
polluted with files that are viewed infrequently or never again.  This requires
the user to manually review the Start Page picklist and delete the many files
that they do not need in the list.

The current option is to increase the PickListSize to a large number (i.e. 50,
100). This reduces the chances of losing documents from the picklist that are
needed, but that's a lot of images to review on a regular basis just to make
sure the picklist stays clean.

Suggestions:

1.1 Currently when the cursor hovers over a picklist thumbnail, there is a
delete button. Add a pin button. 

A pinned entry in the picklist would have to be unpinned before it could be
deleted. Clear List would have no affect on pinned entries.


2. On the Start page, add an option to change the number of recently used files
(PickListSize).

Suggestions:

2.1. A spin button in the lower left-hand corner.
2.2. A label and pop-up to the Sidebar Recent Files drop-down

Any option that directly impacts the list should be easily accessible from the
Start Center (i.e., RecentDocsThumbnail).


3. Currently when you hover over a picklist thumbnail, the file path is
displayed. Add a copy button to copy the path to the clipboard.
