[Request]: Media display preferences

[TriVoxel]

Describe the request

In the official Mastodon site, users can elect to show only hide sensitive media by default, show all media, or hide all media, with hide sensitive as the default. Tuba has no such feature. Please add this feature, as some users may want to either hide all, or show all media, regardless of content sensitivity.

This could probably be implemented pretty cleanly as a single dropdown menu in the appearance section of preferences, similar to the theme dropdown:

Title could be "Media display", subtitle could be something like "How potentially sensitive media is handled", and the options could be "Hide sensitive", "Show all", and "Hide all".

Implementation Details

• This follows the GNOME HIG.

Thanks for the suggestion!

Not sure if a dropdown with all the options is ideal. I kind-of find the wording of "Hide media marked as sensitive" or "Hide sensitive" a bit too advanced for newcommers. It sounds like an active non-default choice, doesn't it? Maybe I'm overthinking it

If there's no real use-case for "Always hide media" then I'd opt-in for a switch instead, like the reveal all spoilers one

What do you think?

Honestly, it may not be necessary. I didn't really think that "hide all" would make sense for the average user. I think a simple toggle switch to "Blur sensitive media" would suffice. I think most people don't want ordinary images blurred. I just noticed this was not on par with Mastodon's web interface, so my suggestion was based solely on feature parity.
