This is Senko from earlier in the thread something went wrong somewhere and after a few attempts to retrieve a lost password and email to that aodbreader-android address (failed every time) I gave up and made a new account.
I use a large amount of manuals and pdfs in my work and will often open 10+ different ones a day. Previously I could regularly clear recent documents so I only had the ones I was using at the time in recent documents but I had the original I could reopen if needed.
With the removal of this feature recent documents is utterly useless as I have dozens of "recent" documents making it almost impossible to find one specific one as its easy to scroll past the one I want. However deleting the original is no use because I may well need it again a few days later so I'd be constantly deleting and reinstalling files. Compared to the previous convenience of just clearing recent documents so I only actually have the ones relevant to what I'm doing at the time in recents but being able to retrieve another if it turns out to be useful.
Currently I don't bother to use recents at all but will just open documents go to the relevant folder and open the one I want since I have 20+ files in my recents list and don't want to permaenntly delete any of them. This feature is one I would greatly appreciate being restored as it makes my work life much easier.
