Description Kieran Clancy 2008-11-22 21:45:41 UTC
Currently, right clicking a recent document in the places menu just opens the file in the default application - which is a little unexpected. What I expect and would find more useful is if I was shown a context menu, or at least do nothing when right clicked.

I would expect it to have things like:
- Open with -> ... (for example, to edit an image instead of viewing it)
- Remove from recent documents

And possibly:
- Properties (nautilus)

I also expect to be able to drag and drop the files from the recent documents menu, but perhaps that belongs in another bug.

I forgot to mention; I think it should have "Open containing folder".
