[Solved] Recent documents list too short

Post by gratom »

Hi all
Is there a way of increasing the list of recent documents from 10?
I find that number too limiting and would love to increase that number
Thanks in advance

Try the LibreOffice: it has a longer list by default, and you can adjust it longer in the settings.

History Master is no longer available.
It directs to www.sfr.fr when you try to download which appears to have been shut down.

You can now download it directly from Mr. Marcelly's page:

Thanks for the quick and helpful responses. That fixed me up. I'll post again with the actual config file change when I'm back home

I forgot to update when I got home. The name of the node has changed.

For those who don't want to use the extension, the way to change the picklist size is with this:

Code: Select all

<item oor:path="/org.openoffice.Office.Common/History">
<prop oor:name="PickListSize" oor:op="fuse">
<value>20
</value>
</prop>
</item>
