Bug Description
Since I upgraded to 12.04 LTS LibreOffice does not populate the list of Recent documents.
What should happen:
1. Open a document in LibreOffice
2. Close the document
3. Go to the menu File > Recent Documents
4. You should see the file you just closed
What happens:
1. 2. 3. =
4. No file appears on the list, instead there is a grayed out "No documents".
If I choose Open and then Recently used the file appears but I guess this is nautilus recent items.
I can see some (not so) recent items in /.libreoffice/
but newly opened files seem to not be recorded in this file

May be a special case report of the problem in Bug 37775 or
may be a symptom of crash on exit.
Marked as needinfo
@ Mark, ismalun
Thanks for your report. If this problem persists for you (whatever the version) please let us know the steps taken in opening, saving and closing the files.
There are cases where the Recent Documents list may not get updated (thru Save As incl. initial Save, or when LibreOffice crashes on exit). It would be great if you could take a look at Bug 37775 and see if that describes your problem.
Is it that a full list of Recent Documents disappears for you or
is it that documents don't get added to Recent list?
Do restored documents appear and then disappear from Recent list?

It seems the schema changed for Recent Documents, more code reading required, but it is entirely possible that this has wider ramifications for lost settings and profile problems - Stephan might have some insight into that.

I believe this may be related to migration of settings from one version to another. I had this problem too. Then I removed all settings of libreoffice, which turned out to be duplicated at more than one place so I actually could not determine which one Libreoffice was actually using. So I removed all of them and then the problem was gone.

Thank you for your reply Björn,
Apparently there is a fix for this bug released in LO 3.5.1 but I did not test it. (see comment 17 of link [2] below)
I found two interesting pages about the issue:
[1] http://
[2] https:/
Removing ~/.libreoffice did not work. Apparently LO is storing registry in ~/.config/
So I uninstalled every package of LO completely from synaptic and installed LO suite again and now it works fine.

- on OpenSuSE 12.1, linux, x86-64, kernel-desktop 3.1.10-8;
- using kernel built-in nouveau nvidia driver;
- Intel Centrino EM64T dual core;
- nVidia GeForce 9500M GS with 512 kbyte dedicated video memory.
As Mark already said, I solve the trouble renaming my profile directory that I carry me on since OpenOffice.org... ;-)
So the problem disappear renaming / deleting the LibreOffice profile directory:
~/.config/
simply in
~/.config/
and letting LibreOffice creating a new clean one!

To clarify: As this bug was present in LO 3.5.0, if you migrated from < 3.5.0 to LO 3.5.0 and now to LO 3.5.1, the issue will still appear to be present (as it happens when the user data is migrated, and that happened for you when migrating from < 3.5.0 to LO 3.5.0).
You can resolve it manually by removing the LO 3.5 user data (Linux: ~/.config/
Optionally, you can also remove the marker file indicating that the < 3.5.0 user data had already been migrated (Linux: ~/.libreoffice/

Same problem with 3.5.2 on Windows XP.

3) Closed and re-opened LO.
4) Looked at Recent Files list. It was empty.
I then deleted the folder C:\Documents and Settings\
That DID fix the problem.

But to be blunt, I really don't want all this geekery. Can someone PLEASE simply issue a version of LibreOffice 3.5 that just works and not expect usres to fathom how to get full functionality? At the moment, I am thinking seriously of uninstalling and going back to the MS software - which DOES work.

This all very well for Linux but what about Windows? I too have LibreOffice
3.5.2.2 , Build ID: 281b639-
a folder ~/.config/
\LibreOffice\
But to be blunt, I really don't want all this geekery. Can someone PLEASE
simply issue a version of LibreOffice 3.5 that just works and not expect usres
to fathom how to get full functionality? At the moment, I am thinking
seriously of uninstalling and going back to the MS software - which DOES work.

On Windows, you can remove LibreOffice\
(That Windows is affected at all by this LO 3.5.0 bug is an unfortunate consequence of another bug in that version, which caused LO to "migrate" its existing per-user configuration data onto itself. And, unfortunately, there is no good way for a later LO version to automatically fix the breakage caused by this bug in LO 3.5.0.)

fdo#46074 Ignore corrupted items in Recent Documents
In freedesktop.org Bugzilla #46074, Sbergman (sbergman) wrote : | #82 |
The various, legitimate complaints here that LO should self-heal its blocked Recent Documents list made me have another look at the code, and indeed the above master commit (comment 58) should make a broken Recent Documents list work again without any manual intervention (old entries will still be lost, but new entries will start to appear again).
I am intending to get that fix backported into LO 3.5.3.

David, where exactly was that file located? (If you are running on Linux, you likely have different directories ~/.libreoffice/
In freedesktop.org Bugzilla #46074, Kavoura (kavoura) wrote : | #87 |
Okay, this is getting confusing. So there are two places where the file is saved. So I removed it from the other location and replaced with a modified version, in which I kept just the first few lines (cutting out all document history from the file, as well as anything referring to Openoffice.org), and now I have the recent documents listed again.
When the 3.5.3 comes out I shall upgrade to that.
Thanks for your help and work on this.

Thats interesting. Had same bug (Mint12).
Removed HOME/.config/
I then closed L-O and it wrote the registry file again. Same bug
So I CLOSED L-Office, deleted Go to registrymodific
Started up L-office and it wrote the file on startup and all fixed.

LibreOffice 3.5.2.2, Kubuntu 11.10,
Workaround this way:
1) Closed LibreOffice
2) moved ~/.config/
3) Started LibreOffice again (Calc)
4) Opened a file, modified and saved it
5) Recent documents was updated.

Reset version number to original value (3.5.0). Please note that the version field should containt the FIRST version which is known to contain the problem, NOT the last one!

To fix that and not loose settings use HistoryMaster addon.
Set pick list to 0, Apply.
Next set pick list to 10, Apply.
And done, recent list is back.

*** SOLVED ON WINDOWS ***
Just download and install LO 3.5.4 (LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 Build ID: 165a79a-
Platform is Windows 7 64 bit on Lenovo Y460 notebook.
Previously suffering from this bug. I.e. no document listed in recently used.
Did not do anything to remove whatever user file etc as suggested in work around. Just straight away install without uninstalling previous version (which I forget to record, probably very early version of 3.5, remember only upgrade it one time)
After the installation boot up and no recent document in the list. As expected.
Open a document. Close it and the recent document list is updated with that document. Tested with another document and work as expected.
Hope this help other people on Windows. And I would suggest that any workaround in the future is to be suggested with all platform in mind.
Thankfully the act of installing a new version is very similar to all platform ;)
Have a good day!

After reboot LibreOffice does not have list of recent documents. The list only exists if there are documents restored. It does not appear when I close LibreOffice, the shutdown and start again.
