Hello all,
Re: LO 3.6.4 on Windows XP
In both Writer and Calc if one clicks on
File - Recent Documents
they are presented with a list of up to ten of the most recently
accessed documents. Is there anyway to increase that number to
greater than ten?
Thanks
Not that I know of. But there is something of a workaround:
o Click the down-arrow at the right end of the Standard toolbar.
o Click Visible Buttons > | Load URL.
The new toolbar element creates a potentially longer list of recent documents. You will have to set this up separately for Writer, Calc, and so on.
I trust this helps.

Hi
Not sure if anyone got this message could you please reply..
I am really stuck with this. thanks
Hi LibreOffice 3.5.6.2 Build ID: e0fbe70-dcba98b-297ab39-994e618-0f858f0
We have been using Libre spreadsheet and Excel for 3 years now and all of a sudden when you create a hyperlink it auto copies into the destination sheet of the hyperlink.
If you create a hyprelink in sheet 3 pointing to destination sheet 1 it removes the hyperlink entry in sheet 3 and places the hpyerlink in sheet 1.
Example: Sheet one is called STUDENT NAME in box A1 you type the word Student name. Now create new sheet named ALex. Create a hyperlink in Alex sheet, A1 to link back to destination sheet Student name. In the past this has worked fine but now once you save/ click on the hyperlink it overwrites the name on student sheet AI to Alex removing the hyperlink you have just created in Alex and placing it in A1 Student name.
It is almost like its the opposite of what we use to do. SUMMARY> Hyperlink copies itself into the destination and deletes itself from the origin sheet
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Well, that's very interesting! I certainly never would have thought
of or found that!! Thank you very much for your help.
Best regards.
Several years ago, people were complaining about this problem on the OpenOffice.org user mailing list. An extension was created to solve this problem called History Manager. Version 2.1 of this extension is available Apache OpenOffice web site:
http://extensions.openoffice.org/?lang=en-US. Search for History Manager.
It is suppose to work on AOO and LO.

Yes there is.
1. Close LibreOffice.
2. Go to your LibreOffice profile (%APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user\ in Windows,
~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/ on Linux)
3. Open file registrymodifications.xcu
4. Find item
<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/History">
It should have property:
<prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:op="fuse">
which value is 10. Just change it to any number you like.
5. Save changes, open LibreOffice again.
yes, I saw/see your message;
no, I have no clue as to what you're asking;
I wish you luck in finding whatever you're seeking to do.

Many versions ago (SO days), the 'load url' bar used to appear by
default, but sadly this was removed. There is an extension 'history
master/manager' to control both 'recent documents' and 'load url',
which may be useful for security.
I think you have found a bug! You need to file a bug report. The hyperlink is not working like it should.
--Dan
How do I report it?
Thanks
Hi 
If you can find a work-around or avoid using that then it takes the pressure off as there are never enough devs in any project to fix things fast enough. However posting a bug-report does at least mean they will get around to it some day
https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/BugReport
Please note that the skill-set and personality that makes a good dev is kinda opposite to making them good people-persons so if they "wind you up" or say something that appears "a bit off" just try to get past that and work out what they need to know to carry on with your report. Of course there are always exceptions.
Good luck and regards from
Tom

Thanks Dan. I found History Manager and I also found History Master
http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/HistoryMaster
which has a higher user rating, so I decided to give it a try first.
It worked perfectly. I didn't know that OpenOffice extensions would
work with LO, so thank you for that information also.
Best regards,
C.R.

Thank you for the suggestion, but I wasn't able to find the <prop

registrymodifications.xcu. However I found that the History Master
extension http://extensions.openoffice.org/en/project/HistoryMaster
worked perfectly and gives me some additional functionality and
control.

Hi
I think i meant just don't let yourself feel offended if they are a bit blunt or appear to be asking odd questions. Just watch "House MD" and have a laugh instead. Of course, as i said, many devs are really good at handling people but i tend to not want to be handled, i just want the thing fixed.

Just wondering why one would use the recent-list rather than going
to the file, locating the file, then opening it 
To me, that's the simplest way of locating documents -
an added benefit is finding the excess that may have piled up;
as when the document was saved with a slightly different name, to enable
the original to not be changed - then these miscellaneous documents sit
forgotten using up space
Well, that's my 2 cents worth
