Option to never show specific items

[Ketil Wendelbo Aanensen]

Some things are never interesting to have in the journal, because it's always open, set as browser start page, etc. So, I'd like a context menu option to "Never show this item".
Then maintain a blacklist of things that are always excluded from view.

I think this was discussed and more or less agreed upon. If so, change to "Confirmed"

its more or less the same as respecting privacy
same technique

[Ketil Wendelbo Aanensen (ketilwaa-deactivatedaccount)]

Changed back. This does not necessairly have anything to do with privacy, but more about keeping the logs clean and neat.

So - I am pretty sure that we want said events in the actual DB, because they are valuable behavioral info. I can definitely see the idea in not showing them in the GUI.

Perhaps we could drag some parts of the Blacklist extension from the engine into a public lib, to easily serialize and deserialize a collection of events. Then using Event.matches_template() (like the blacklits ext. also does) would make it easy peasy implement this feature in apps.

Yeah I think this should be done on the app level and not touch the
blacklist in the engine. I am for keeping both seperate :)
But maybe having a "hidden" option in the engines blacklist is a good option
