Recent files list

[daniel-lerch]

Vocup 2.0 will replace the file tree on the left side with a list of recent files because that's much more convenient if your vocabulary books are saved in different places. Here's a draft how it could look like:

That would make it possible to switch quickly between books like tabs in the browser. Books with unsaved changes should somehow be highlighted in this list.

I'm not yet sure how to order the list. Chronologically would make sense in general but it would annoying if you often switch between to books and they constantly change their places.

What do you think about a search option? Make it chronologically and if someone what's to switch it still possible to search for.

Another option would be the possibility to pin books. This would allow the user to pin often used books to the top (in pin order) followed by the most recent once.

Instead of a chronological list an alphabetically sorted tree view should be implemented. Compared to the current file tree view the new control should only show folders with vocabulary books that have been used recently. Complex hierarchies have to be hidden by using captions and users should be able to remove a directory from the list easily.

Requirements:

• Two sort options: by name (grouped by folders) or last access date
• Hide files that do not exist anymore from list
• Remove files after not being seen for 6 months
• Open the most recently used vocabulary book on startup
