[libreoffice-documentation] Documenta

#1

Hi Susan and welcome to LibreOffice. There was a thread about this back in January which may be of help. I haven't tried it:

https://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/nabble-mailing-list-interface/

Also, I have copied this to the users list which is probably a better resource. The docs list is related to documentation of LO.

Cheers

Hi :slight_smile:
Does anyone remember how to fix the list of recent documents to be longer than 10?  There was 1 solved thread about this and 1 unsolved.  Can anyone remember when the solved list happened?  Perhaps a link to the Nabble thread?

Regards from
Tom :slight_smile:

Hi, I'm new to LibreOffice.  I can't figure out

                  how to show a list of

all documents and not just the 10 shown.  Please

                  help.  Thanks, Susan

I don't know how to "fix" list of recent documents, but if you want to have
access to more than 10 documents, you might want to have a look at this
message:

I just looked at this link. Then I looked for the file: registrymodifications.xcu. While it exists in the User folder of the configuration files, I did not find the item <item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/History". Nor could I locate <prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:op="fuse">. This is true for LibreOffice 3.6.6 and 4.0.3. What line is this found in this file?
      Any other suggestions?

Hi. I used to (may be back at 2.4) edit an xcu file to increase history length to 32. Then they changed something in LO that made it impractical so now I use History Master that is an easier way.

Could you please explain the way you used the History Master to obtain a longer recent file list?

#7

After installing (may be you need to restart LO) go to Tools>Add Ons (at the bottom)>History Master. There set the list length. The list starts at the current length and extends to the new length with use.

History Master is an extension that was developed by OpenOffice.org for the split between OOo and LO. It still works with LO. Download it here:
http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/HistoryMaster.
      Use the Extension Manager (Tools > Extension Manager) to install it. Then close LO and then reopen it. Use "Tools > Add-ons History Manager" to select the length that you want the recent file list to be. Click OK. Each time you open a document with LO, it will show up in this list and will increase the number of files that are listed in it.

If it does not exist, you can create it. Just put it between <oor:items ...>
and </oor:items>; so, anything between 3rd and next-to-last line will do.

Code is below. It does not have to be in one line. Indentation is irrelevant
as well. But make sure you have closed all LO windows and quickstarter (if
it's running) before modifying the file.

<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/History">
  <prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:op="fuse">
    <value>30</value>
  </prop>
</item>

Steve, thanks for your hint!!!! ROSt52

Dan, Thanks for the hint with the download. This was the key to success. A nice extension!. Changing of the " registrymodifications.xcu" did not work because I could not identify the strings.

Keith, also thanks to you!
