Bug ID: 496709
Summary: KCM shows a huge list of devices
Classification: Plasma
Product: Bluedevil
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: wizard

Pairing pop-up example.
SUMMARY
When opening the 'Bluetooth' KCM, I get a huge list of devices (50-70). It is
hard to manage. The list keeps updating, and devices keep
appearing/disappearing.
On other platforms (iOS for example), the list is much shorter and isn't
updated as often (or at least it doesn't seem to be).
Would it be possible to 'filter' the list of devices?
For example, I'm typically only interested in devices like:
- mouse
- keyboards
- headphones
- trackpads
- etc
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open the bluetooth settings in a crowded place
2. Select "Pair device..."
OBSERVED RESULT
The 'Search...' box makes it a little bit easier to use, but you need to know
what you are looking for (not always the case).
Bluez5 offers a way to set a 'discovery filter'
(https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/bluetooth/bluez.git/tree/doc/adapter-api.txt?h=5.58#n49),
this would probably be a nice way to filter out unwanted devices from the list.
