Libreoffice for mac os recent files list5/28/2023 ![]() ![]() > properties list that contains the list of recent documents for an app, but 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. There are about 1,000 bytes per file, most of which appears to the little icon that is displayed next to the file name. 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. 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. One interesting thing I discovered is that the files are identified in that file by some kind of unique identifier. For LibreOffice the file of interest is ~Library/ Application Support/ / / 2 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. (There is one there for LibreOffice but it doesn't seem to affect anything if I delete it.) So as far as I can tell, there isn't even a simple workaround for resetting the list! Yes, I tried killing the dock and/or rebooting in safe mode.įound sort of a work around after all. For what it's worth, I dug all around the Application Support / Preferences files and couldn't find any that seem to be where the dock's recent file lists are kept, even though according to some documentation I read they are supposed to be in the folder under the appropriate app. When I created a new document and opened it, it did get added to the bottom of both menus, and the first one on the menu to the left was dropped. If you do File > Recent Documents from the app's menu at the top of the screen, you have the same list. I'm attaching a screen shot of the two menus - the contextual one from the dock is to the left, the one on the right is what you get by following File > Recent Documents from the dock contextual menu. I think a better description of this bug might be "dock app contextual menu not synchronized with LibreOffice File > Recents menu(s)". ![]() Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!
