Just switched to Linux from Windows. In Windows, I used to be able to right-click on any L.O. app icon on the taskbar (Calc, for instance), and the context menu would show me the last several files I was working on. It was very convenient.
I don’t seem to have this same functionality for L.O. icons on the Linux taskbar. Is there a setting I can change somewhere to get that context-menu file history back?
The taskbar showing a recent files list is a feature of Windows and not of LibreOffice Calc - hence you would need to ask for that in a forum of your GNU/Linux distribution (which you did not mention). But from my (limited) experience: I don’t know any Linux distribution (i.e. Window / Desktop Manager) having such feature.
Thanks for the reply. I’m using Zorin 16.
But you already have a recent document list in the right pane of LibreOffice’s Start Center. Not sure about Zorin 16, but if it uses GNOME desktop manager, your problem might be, that you cannot simply start LibreOffice’s Start Center but you start LibreOffice modules (Calc, Writer, Draw, etc…) directly.
Yeah, I’m starting the apps with taskbar icons. When I try and launch Libre Office, the mouse pointer gives the ‘working’ indicator. Then nothing happens.
Sorry - I don’t understand that. From what I know (and can read in the net) Zorin 16 is based on Ubuntu and uses GNOME. And GNOME does not have a taskbar. Hence your statement is in contradiction to my knowledge.
Here’s a screenshot of the desktop…
