Hi,

I would like the ability to clear the Load URL history list and feel this 
should be easily available to the user via the UI.  Eg right click and clear 
for example.

As a consultant I have seen many people wanting to clear their browser history 
list because of inappropriate URL's and I have had to show them how to clear 
the history.

OO does not appear to provide the user with the ability to do this.

In my own case I have wanted to explore this feature further.  What order are 
the files listed, are passwords kept in the history etc.

Without the ability to easily clear the list it is too hard to get a handle on 
what is happening in the feature.

By the way I think the feature is really good, but I doubt that many other 
people care about it until they are shown what it can do.

Thanks

Kelvin

I thought I would update the OOo release on old issues if still relevant.

Hi Kelvin,
change the common.xcu by hand is a thing that is not intended to users.

I know a lot of people that are afraid of to change these things, some are
unable to do this.
It souds like an easy thing to you, but is very annoyng.

There are some things in user-faq talking about to change settings by hand, but
is not a very good thing.

I think that OOo should provide, at least, a list of things that you can do by
editing some files by hand.

To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on
my owner to the owner "requirements".

Current version 4.0.1 has Clear entry to remove all entries from the Recent file list. It was fixed on revision 1341725.

Clearing the recent used file list from File > Recent Documents does not solve the problem, that the "Load from URL" list shows the documents. [You need to customize the toolbar Standard, to activate the item "Load URL".] The same problem is with the list shown in the open dialog of OpenOffice.
