An alternative way

It has been addressed several times, the size of "Recent documents" (like Issue
117321). One thing that hasn't been addressed (here, or from what I can find
through Google search), is the possibility to "Keep" some documents = never
replaced by newer documents.

It could also be a separate row, under: "Recent documents":
"Kept/Saved documents", with documents that would or wouldn't be excluded from
"Recent documents"-list.

I have some documents that are opened often (daily, weekly or monthly) - that I
would be happy to not have to "Open" (or locate on computer, to open), because
they have been replaced by some temporary documents.

At least, the possibility to mark some documents to stay in "Recent" (until
unchecked/empty list), even though if the size is still "10", and that may
cause no other documents to end up in that list, once 10 "I want to save these"
have been added.

(Probably) Due to Asperger's I'm overcomplicating information, so I attach a
file to show an example.

(It's easy to request "small" improvements, when I have no clue how many
hours/days of work it could take. :) )

In other words, you would like to "pin" some documents in that list, either
inline or in a separate section (favorites ?).

Sounds like a nice improvement. ;-)

BTW: You can do this already with Windows 7 startmenu. But this should be
synchronized with the (to be improved) recent document list in AOO.

"Pin"... exactly. I should have used that word instead of "kept/saved" -
Thanks! :)

Oh, I have removed Documents from my start menu (I don't like "clutter"), so I
wasn't aware of that. Maybe I'll look into that, but... preferable it could be
working in Calc.
