<pre>Description:
Feature Request: Add right click menu options for opening and pinning frequent
/ recent documents in Windows 10 quick launch bar (ideally make the behavior
consistent on all OS's docks)
Similar to other software, such as Thunderbird, Firefox, Atom code editor and
the Typora markdown editor I would like to request right click menu options in
the icon on the Windows taskbar
Currently, Libre Office apps only offer recent documents directly in Linux
The offer the File menu (which has recent documents) on MacOS
There is no such functionality in Windows 10
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add an icon for Calc in the Windows task bar with:
- Start - search for Calc
- Right click Calc
- Click "Pin to Taskbar"
Right click the icon for Calc in the Windows taskbar
Actual Results:
Windows: The only options currently are the ones common to all Windows
programs:
- Libre Office Calc (opens the program)
- Unpin from Taskbar
- Close window (if it was already open)
MacOS: The menu shows
- Open documents
- The File menu (requiring an additional 2 clicks to see the recently open
documents list)
Linux: The menu shows
- New Spreadsheet
- Recently opened documents
Expected Results:
I would like to have additional options to improve the user experience of
opening frequently used documents
These options would be available whether the program was open or closed.
On all 3 OS's
1 - The menu shows recent documents
2 - There is an option to pin documents to a list of pinned documents
I examined the behavior of Calc and the other apps on Windows, MacOS and Linux
(KDE Neon, Ubuntu based) to see what the current state of things is
Calc
- Windows: No app specific menu items present
- MacOS: Menu shows open documents, and the File menu (which includes recent
documents but is two clicks away from them being present directly in the menu)
- Linux: New spreadsheet, recent documents. Items present whether app is open
or closed
Thunderbird
- Additional right click menu options only present when it is open
- There are actions such as "New Message" present on Windows, MacOS, and Linux
- App specific right click menu options present across all 3 OS's
Firefox
- Additional menu items present whether open or closed
- Actions include "Open a new tab" "Open a New Window" "New Private Window"
- App specific right click menu options present across all 3 OS's
Atom
- Right click menu has "New Window" etc whether the app is open or closed
- App specific right click menu options present in Windows & MacOS
- Linux: No app specific menu items present
Typora - behavior differs between OS's
- "Pin" behavior is only present on Windows
- Windows: Right click items include "Pinned" documents, and "new"
- MacOS: Menu shows recent documents with open documents underneath, in
addition to "New, Open" and OS common menu items
- Linux: No app specific menu items present
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
Version: 6.3.0.4 (x64)
