My current problem:
Currently, once installed and enabled, all cards return to the default view unless specifically overridden. If you wish to only return on timeout from only one or two views or sub-views, you must list all other views and set to false. When adding a new view, you must remember to add that view to the list and disable the timeout.
I would like a way to enable the view timeout for specific views only (opt-in rather than opt-out).
Proposal:
Either of the following solutions would be acceptable, and would be reasonably intuitive.
The below examples would enable timeout for the second-camera view only.
Option 1 - respect the main option default: false and let the user specify specific views under the views: key.
(Currently, setting default: false does not influence behaviour at all)
Eg:
view_timeout:
timeout: true
default: false
duration: 15000
views:
second-camera: home
Option 2 - If the views: key is specified, then only those views are included in the timeout (i.e. same behaviour as the users: key). The default key becomes irrelevant. Eg:
view_timeout:
timeout: true
duration: 15000
views:
second-camera: home
Note that there is no need to set home: false once such an include-only configuration is implemented.
In my opinion, Option 1 is the better option and should be easy to implement without disrupting existing configurations.
