When I start LibreOffice, I would like to see all of my recent documents. How can I configure Libre do that?
Hello,
this is default if you start LibreOffice’s start center - the thumbnails you see in the right panel is the recent documents list. File -> Recent Documents shows you the same list of files and if you want to change the number of files to appear in the list (or number of thumbnails shown) you need to change settings: Tools -> Option -> LibreOffice -> Button: Open Expert Configuration -> Search: History -> Option: org.openoffice.Officce.Common\History\PickListSize to a value matching your needs (default: 25). If you start a LibreOffice Module directly (e.g Writer) your only choice is File -> Recent Documents
PS: The only way to have no recent documents list would be to set 0 in the setting mentioned above.
Hope that helps.

Thanks - I was opening Writer instead of the Start center.

Hi. Apologies for this rather late input to this thread. Just want to share how to reset the Recent Documents page on Libre Office for the Mac version 24.8.1.2 (as follows):
GO TO Preferences → LibreOffice → Advanced → (Click) Open Expert Configuration → Search: History → Option: org.openoffice.Office.Common\History\PickListSize
Hit Edit and enter your preferred number of recent documents to display. Put 0 if you don’t want to display any recent documents. Make sure to save/apply your edits. BTW: I’m not sure what the maximum number of documents can be displayed.
