Recent Documents menu not working in 3.5.0?

Hi,

I've just upgraded from 3.4.5 to 3.5.0 and the File->Recent Documents
menu remains empty regardless of whether I open files, create files or
edit files (tried Writer and Calc).

I can't see anything in a quick scan of the mail list, and the closest
thing I saw in Bugzilla was "Recent Documents list does not work"
(https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=39026) which is
apparently fixed.

Does anyone else see this?

LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3/Build ID: 7e68ba2-a744ebf-1f241b7-c506db1-7d53735
on Windows 7 SP1 (64-bit).

Thanks in advance,

Leon

Hi :)
It sounds like you have found a regression.  Please add a comment to the bottom of the bug-report to help the devs fix it (again)
Regards from
Tom :)

Hi!
The files of Libreoffice3.5 are now in .config/libreoffice/3 and they seem not to be read (in 3.4, it was .libreoffice/3).

In the file /opt/libreoffice3.5/program/bootstraprc, I changed

UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/libreoffice/3
by
UserInstallation=$SYSUSERCONFIG/../libreoffice/3
and now the Recent Documents menu is working, and the files of Libreoffice3.5 are in libreoffice/3
Regards,
Guy

I can confirm that it does not work on Debian 6.0.4.[aka squeeze] with the
newest final version of libreoffice.

That's two show-stoppers that I've confirmed dont work today, is this a beta
version of libreoffice thats been released as a 'final' version by mistake?

Nearly ;-)

LibreOffice has a time based release plan, so 3.5.0 is a version for "early
adopters".

Speaking of "final" in this context may be technically correct but does not
reflect the bug status very well, as for a .0 version only severe bugs (crash,
data loss) have been fixed, see release criteria[1].

Every new micro version (.1, .2, .3...) will have less bugs than the .0
release.

     This may seem to be a little strange. I have been using LO 3.5 for
opening 5 documents and 2 databases. My recent documents list now shows
seven entries, and I have accessed these seven files today.
     I downloaded LO (64 bit) from the LO website. OS: Ubuntu 11.10 64
bit.
It would be nice to know why some are having a problem with this, and
others are not.

The re-opened bug report above got closed so I've opened a new one:
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46172

I've done a bit more digging and included the results in the bug history.

On Windows you should be able to fix this by renaming
registrymodifications.xcu (%APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user). However
other application settings will be reset by doing this (which is why I
say "rename" and not "delete"!).
