Allow for archived events to be displayed or hidden (based on toggle switch)

[mnoorenberghe]

It would be great if events that are archived in Zoneminder weren't show in the event list by default since by definition they aren't intended to be viewed as frequently as unarchived ones. My workflow is to delete false-positive events and ones that have no value in the future but archive ones that will be useful for reference in the future.

I can take a look at implementing this but I'm not sure if the existing event filters are persistent so would want guidance of how you would handle that. I would be fine if archived are always hidden by default and I had to click the three vertical dots from the event page, click "Fliter by Date/Time/Archived" and had a toggle there to show archived. Does that work for you?

Hi, so interestingly, zoneminder doesn't treat archived events as 'don't show' (although that is the natural expectation). Instead zoneminder makes sure archived events are both not deleted and are shown. So to me, this is like 'flagging' an event, which is what I am using the archive bit. So when you flag an event in zmNinja, it means 'mark it as important' which is the opposite of don't show.

I suppose I could implement a toggle in developer setting that either treats flagged events as 'mark as important' or 'don't show' ? Its the same ZM function (archive/unarchive) but the UI interpretation changes.

Okay, so I've now added a developer option - you can toggle it to hide archived events. its off by default because I'm treating archive as 'mark as important' by default
