The next step will be to automatically start with the last read document. I can choose between the following solutions:
1) start only with the document that was 'open' during shutdown.
2) start with the last opened document (whether it was still open at shut-down or not).
The reason that I list the second option is because I normally first close any document that I am reading with ereader before shutting down (I am not sure if ereader is storing the read position). The 2nd will also be easier to implement ofcourse... For the fist solution I have to detect if the last opened document is still open.
Should both be implemented with a user choice?
What to do if several documents are open? Detect which document is visible (at the top) and use that one? Open all? What if the folder-view or Settings was the 'top-document'?
And then there is xournal, it can be started as an application directly (so it will not be stored as short-cut) or you can start it with a document (will be stored as short-cut) but change to an other document while opened (will not be detected). So what to do after power-up?
Same is ofcourse valid for ereader, evince, midori.
Please let me hear your opinion, how should a 'Start Last Document' feature work?

How about creating some short cuts that could be placed in the bottom bar:
1. one could let you close the device normally
2. one could let you close the device as in option #2
3. the last one would bring up all the opened documents after start up
