Hello, SUMMARY When I scan for new devices, the kcmshell5 window will show all the devices it can see, which is great, but after I pick the one I want, it will also save all the other ones. I live in an apartment complex, so my list of devices can get pretty ugly. It's been the case for quite a while so I don't know when it started to be like this. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the bluetooth panel 2. Scan for new devices 3. See that it saved everything found OBSERVED RESULT A lot of devices saved in the devices list. EXPECTED RESULT Only the devices I paired with should be in that list. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS MacOS: Linux: Arch Linux 64b, all current. Kernel 4.20.2, bluez 5.50, bluedevil 5.14.5 (available in About System) KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.54 Qt Version: 5.12.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I'm glad to provide whatever else is needed. Thank you!
I just tried with bluetoothctl and the issue was the same, so I'm guessing it's not bluedevil's
That's how BlueZ works, it does permanently remember only paired devices. Discovered devices are removed after some specified time until last seen.
Oooooh, I usually clean them right away so I never tried that. But I just did leave it alone for a few minutes and yes it cleared it all out. Thank you for the information David!
