[Bug 1513205] [NEW] Option to only allow specific applications to find your geolocation - feature request

 

Public bug reported:

I think that it would be really good if in the Privacy section you could
specify which applications you want to allow to find your geographical
location, because currently you can only turn it off and on globally,
but one may want to allow one application to get this information, but
not to allow others. So I think that the option to globally turn it on
should stay, but there should also be an option where one can select
only specific applications to have this enabled for them. I am running
Ubuntu GNOME 15.10 with GNOME 3.18.
