It turns out you can delete the properties list that contains the list of recent documents for an app, but to have the deletion take effect you have to log out of the account; for some reason rebooting (safe or normal) doesn't delete whatever cache the Dock's info is kept in. For LibreOffice the file of interest is ~Library/ Application Support/ com.apple.sharedfilelist/ com.apple.LSSharedFileList.ApplicationRecentDocuments/ org.libreoffice.script.sfl2 (spaces inserted to allow line wrap.) One interesting thing I discovered is that the files are identified in that file by some kind of unique identifier. If you change the name of a file, you can still open it via the Dock contextual menu -- but not via the File > Recent Documents menu(s) in LibreOffice. While I can't figure out the structure of the recent documents file, it is clear the filenames are not in it as plain text strings. There are about 1,000 bytes per file, most of which appears to the little icon that is displayed next to the file name. The bug is (obviously?) that when LibreOffice deletes a file from its internal recent file list it doesn't tell the Dock to do so too; I presume there is some API for that.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
