Description Hashem Nasarat 2013-08-06 21:42:00 UTC 
At guadec Stef, Aruna and I spoke about the default view settings of seahorse, namely the hidden sidebar and "personal" item-filter. Combined, these two defaults make seahorse confusing because they hide too much information.

These patches change the defaults. For some reason, the variable 'value', which corresponded to the "any" item-filter was the empty string (""). I changed 'value' to be "any", because it made more sense, but perhaps it was intentional. Stef?

Review of attachment 251003 [details] [review]:

In order to remain backwards compatible (with settings that people have explicitly chosen) it's better to leave the "" as the any value. I think this was chosen due to migration from old GConf settings. And I don't think it's necessarily a bad default to have.
