Dash does not keep source the filtered results

[Fedya]

The dash can remember the settings for filtered results for the entire session, but not beyond that.
For example, in the application lens I want to disable the Software center source in the list of the available apps. I can do this by going to the filter button and click on the local app source. But If I log out and then log in, this setting is reverted to the default behavior (i.e. display both local and available apps).

Would love to function has been added, after you exit the session or reboot the filtered results to remember

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

As part of the big bug review for 16.04 LTS, I have tested this on 15.10 and the bug is still there.

actual for xenial

I agree, and can also confirm this bug is present in 16.04 beta 2. I believe the proposed function to remember the preferences (even after system reboot or logout/login) would not only be most welcome, but an expected behavior of the dash for most users, first-time and experienced, IMHO.

So, what are the chances of a bug designated of "low" importance getting fixed by the 16.10 release?

[Jesse (jessedubord)]

17.04, maybe, then?

[Jesse (jessedubord)]

Guess this bug can be closed, since future Ubuntu versions will be using GNOME shell instead of Unity, yeah?

Unity is still maintained. But this bug has expired.
