Idea #30310: Dash doesn't save settings for results filtering

Written by Porky the 1 Nov 12 at 21:39. Related project: Unity. Status: New
Rationale
The Unity Dash doesn't save the results filtering between sessions. As soon as the user relogs, the filters are reset to the default settings. Users should have an option to save those results between sessions. This is quite handy when it comes to the video lens, the 3rd-party news lens, the music lens (when choosing the source scope [IE banshee or rhythmbox] and the gwibber lens.

I really like Solution 1. And as I commented elsewhere, I suggest that, at the very least, dash should remember the configuration of the lens as last used and then present that last used configuration upon next use (so that a user wouldn't have to reconfigure the lens each time it is used).
