Well there are several problems with your argument concerning people are too dumb/lazy to read stuff.
First, most of the networks already appear in the "More networks" folder because there are so many. 5 or 6 get shuffled into the visible space from the dozens that live in the "More networks" folder. So there is a very good chance that the network the "person who doesn't read stuff" is looking for is going to be listed in the "More networks" folder anyways. Second, I don't think you give most users enough credit to recognize that the network they are looking for might be in the "More networks" folder. It makes intuitive sense that Networks they have already connected to will be listed in the visible space. And that a network they have never connected to before would be listed in the "More networks" folder. Third, none of these arguments explain why there is not a manual way to organize where networks appear. There should be a way to confine unused networks to the "More networks" folder or blacklist them from the Network indicator menu all together. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to indicator-network in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1425991 Title: Networks I have never connected to should be confined to the "More Networks" folder Status in indicator-network package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: When a user clicks the network manager indicator, a dropdown appears and lists wifi networks. This menu should NOT display networks that the user has never connected to. Networks the user has never connected to should only display in the "More networks" folder. At a mininum, the user should be given the ability to confine unwanted networks in the "More networks" folder. It is an unproductive design choice to force users to have to wade through networks they have never connected to (networks they will never connect to) in their menu. Numerous reasons exist why a user will not use the Auto-Connect setting for wireless networks. So it makes sense and is more efficient to have the menu only display the networks the user makes active use of and no more. When I click on the Network Manager Indicator and select "Edit Connections" and then look under the "Wifi" heading, only a couple networks appear. So why do 5 or more networks (networks I have never connected to, networks I never will connect to) perpetually show in the Network Indicator menu? They should not be displayed like they are. They should be confined to the "More networks" folder. Alternatively, there should be a way to manually confine/sandbox unwanted networks to this folder so they no longer display in the dropdown menu. In the interest of providing a visual example of what I am talking about, here is a picture of some networks I would like to hide/remove from my Network Indicator menu. http://a.pomf.se/fdqlnn.png To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/indicator-network/+bug/1425991/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
