GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 597080
I can't hide some items from the history list
Last modified: 2010-10-16 21:30:19 UTC
Created attachment 144570 [details] the red items are what I want to not be displayed Sometimes I work on sekret projects. When I screenshot gnome-shell, I don't have the option to clear the recent documents list, or even just hide a couple of files. Screenshot shows problem.
Needs design. Possibilities: * Right click menu to remove a single item (is this permanent?) * Right click menu to show a dialog which allows you to pick a time period (clear the last day/month/all) * Allow collapsing the area * Have a virtual hughsie's mom program which stops him from downloading those pictures in the first place
(In reply to comment #1) > Needs design. Possibilities: > > * Right click menu to remove a single item (is this permanent?) [Ignore files of this name] or/and [Ignore files in this directory] > * Right click menu to show a dialog which allows you to pick a time period > (clear the last day/month/all) Yes, that would be good. For instance I have music playing on a big playlist all day, and I don't want that to fill up my history as it stops me finding the file that I was editing yesterday without scrolling back three pages. Ignoring all files in Music/ or *.mp3 would solve this problem nicely for me. > * Allow collapsing the area Solves my original problem I guess, and allows me to take the screenshot. If you provide this option then it still would be useful to be able to clear all/some of the entries. > * Have a virtual hughsie's mom program which stops him from downloading those > pictures in the first place Ha! I said projects, not pictures! :-)
We could at least easily add a new iconButton in the expanded view for each item that would remove it from , e.g. a "sweep" icon.

Yeah, showing files and very personal activity trail information there turned out to be a mistake. We're removing it for that and other reasons. We'll likely address this differently when doing another kind of document access in the overview.
