GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 116609
History deletion on per-site basis
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
It would be nice to be able to delete history entries on a per-site basis. (pr0n sites come to mind, as a use case). It confused me to see that I could select a site in the site list and the 'Delete' item was still disabled in the File menu. Also, if actions on sites are possible, this should be reflected in a context menu for the site entries.
I can say that not being able to do it bugged me a few times.
Whatever the reason was that it didn't work for me at first, this functionality now suddenly does exist. Perhaps there's something else going on? Marco if it's OK with you then I'll mark this invalid.
>Whatever the reason was that it didn't work for me at first, this >functionality now suddenly does exist. Hem how can it work, there is no code for that :) How did you remove it ? You can remove all the urls inside a site and the site will be removed automatically but ... removing the site directly in theory is not possible.
I am an idiot. I got confused between the bookmarks editor and the history. Hmm I believe I saw a bug asking to merge the two? ;-)
Maybe it would be nice to support this from the address entry too (so you don't have to even open the history window): http://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=87098
I'm ok with it, i think my original concern was users get confused by the slightly different interaction design between bookmarks and history,
spark: excellent idea! Do we need a separate epiphany bug for this?
Yeah I guess it should be a separate bug.
Sorry for the spam. Reassigning bugs with a target to our next milestone.
Created attachment 23840 [details] [review] implementation
Target 1.2 -> 1.4 due to feature freeze. Patch can go in once we branch.
Adding BLOCKED_BY_FREEZE keyword.
I'd like to give this a look before it goes in.
I think my comment on irc was that it would have been worth to add a history api to remove sites prolly.
Mass-moving Targe Milestone 1.4 -> 1.6 due to feature, UI and string freeze.
Reassigning bugs from version 0.7.2 to 0.x.
Mass reassigning of Epiphany bugs to epiphany-maint@b.g.o
Since this bug is blocked by waiting for an updated patch instead of a freeze, I'm removing the BLOCKED_BY_FREEZE keyword.
Fixed on HEAD.
