Description Corné Beerse 2024-04-14 17:13:16 UTC 
Description:
On starting LibreOffice (without draw or writer or such) I get a screen with my recent documents as icons.

On that screen, I'd like to select multiple recent documents and open them all in their own window. So to compose a fresh start with multiple recent documents.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. stop libre office
2. Start "libre office" from the start-menu, not using the writer or such.
3. See your recent documents and now try to open 3 or 4 documents at once.

Actual Results:
Only the first selected document can be opened.
All others need to be selected on an other route, like file-recentdocuments or such.

Expected Results:
Be able to open a couple of recent documents on startup to restart my work.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No

Additional Info:
It would also be nice if this LibreOffice start screen can be opened from the File -> RecentDocuments menu.
It would also be nice if this LibreOffice start screen can be opened if an other LibreOffice document is already open.
Comment 1 Corné Beerse 2024-04-14 17:24:11 UTC 
After filing the enhancement/freature request, I found out that the same window with multiple icons appears if I close the last document in LibreOffice with the 'close document'-cross that appears below the 'close window cross' after closing the one-but-last libre office window.

This is both on Debian linux and msWindows.
