Add libraries that were opened with File-Open library (ctrl+o) to "Recent libraries"

Open mode-2020 opened this issue 3 years ago • 2 comments

Is your suggestion for improvement related to a problem? Please describe. When I want to open a recent .bib file, I usually want to find it in 'File-Recent libraries' at the toolbar. However, this function can only show the recent files opened from the 'File-Open library (ctrl+o)' function. If I open a .bib file directly from the explorer in Windows, this file will not shown in 'Recent libraries'.

Describe the solution you'd like I want recent files opened from the Windows Explorer will be shown in 'Recent libraries'.
