Show/Hide job queue according to privacy setting #161
Conversation
There was a problem hiding this comment.
Hm I don't have a printer to test, but reading through this seems like kind of a false privacy. I don't think the issue is whether the queue is shown while privacy mode is enabled, but whether jobs are saved in the queue after they're printed. Correct me if I'm wrong here, but wouldn't all the previous jobs show in the queue again if someone were to go change the remember files setting?
I think a case for privacy here is for example you're working on a shared computer and you go turn on privacy mode, print something sensitive, and then turn privacy mode back off so that there's no record of you having made that print.
Or perhaps you just leave privacy mode on all the time, but if someone where to use the computer and turn privacy mode off, you'd want to make sure that this means the print history queue is still empty and not that the queue is now revealed.

@danrabbit Good point. I'll look into whether it is possible to clear the queue at the system level as well (and not save new jobs to it) when privacy is on. |

There is a "Clear History" button in the Privacy settings but not sure whether this clears the job queue. I'll check. |
|
"Clear History" in the Privacy plug does not clear the printer queue. I have raised on issue regarding this. I have also pushed a PR for a button that clears the queue. |

If the Privacy plug offers the ability to clear the printer queue then maybe this PR will not be needed. |
Fixes #40
Also moves construction code into
construct {}clause and uses Object-style creation.
