Re: Make optional show files in gnome core apps from the Download directory

[Diogo Campos <diogocamposwd gmail com>]

The Core Apps lists content from Tracker.

Install "tracker-preferences" to (graphically) make Tracker ignore the Downloads folder.

(it is "tracker-preferences" in Fedora; can be a different name in other distribution)

Please add an option (perhaps in dconf) that gnome core apps don't display files from download directory. Usually the download directory is a folder where your files are stored temporarily before being processed and stored elsewhere as the "Documents", "Music", "Photo" folder, etc.

Download folder is our Inbox and receive all kinds of files from the internet, bluetooth connections and other sources. It's annoying to open gnome-documents and view files that you dont want to have there, see images of icons on a web page downloaded or application in gnome-photos or sounds and recording of the last meeting that play in gnome-music by mistake.

It has happened many times and I have to constantly clean my Downloads folder to prevent this behavior. However, I believe that strongly influences the user workflow and therefore I propose it as a configuration option in dconf.

Cheers
