The underlying problem makes no sense. In a settings application, the user should be allowed to choose "select sources". All of the available sources should be selected. There should be the ability to say "Website A, selectable"; "Website B, not selectable". Once the user sets this up, the selection of sources should come from a local configuration file, not the internet. Hence, no need to access the internet unless the user actually initiates an internet search.
For example, if the following video websites are available: * Wikimedia * YouTube * EducationalVideos I should be able to say * Wikimedia - not selectable for user group "children" selectable for group "adults" * YouTube - not selectable for user group "children", selectable for user group "teens", selectable for user group "adults" * EducatonalVideos - selectable for all users. Then if I am in the adult user group, the local video searches come up first and I have to option to select from Wikimedia, YouTube or EducationalVideos. If I belong to the "children" users group the only option for internet searches is "EducationalVideos". Even though the program has the ability to search YouTube and mediawiki, since I do not have permission to search those website, those websites should not be available for me to search. Also, isn't the availability of the websites to be searched controlled by individual add-on files, so end users can add or remove a website by simply adding or removing the library file? Isn't that how most of the gnome-shell, firefox, and other applications work? There is a core functionality and then the ability to add in add-ons? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/939140 Title: Video Lens connects to internet when it shouldn't ("Local Videos" is only filter active) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity-lens-video/+bug/939140/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
