Hello, a child at the school I work at managed to bring up images of "fellatio" by using the web image import tab in Inkscape. She simply typed in "open mouth" and used the Wikimedia tab. On closer inspection it looks like Inkscape is accessing a non safe search within Bing. This obviously makes the program unusable within schools. Is there a way the web image search could be removed?
It's not a bing search, it is the wikimedia search as you would get it from wikipedia itself. But I understand the need for stricter tagging and control, I'll see what the wikimedia search api allows.
Hi shall look into deleting the sources. That may be the way to go.thanks. The reason I said it was Bing was because I was monitoring the traffic when using the web image search and Bing was was what was coming up. I blocked Wikimedia on the firewall but through Inkscape it was still getting through. Thanks for the suggestions.

That does not sound good. Which version of Inkscape is in use? This info is needed to file a report.
Inkscape 1.2 (dc2aedaf03, 2022-05-15)
ok, I reported this as a feature request. https://gitlab.com/inkscape/inbox/-/issues/7385
Import web image is broken on my machines, so I can't assist as yet.
Ok thanks. That would be very helpful.
if you really need to disable this feature fast. navigate to your Inkscape installation and delete this folder
less drastic solutin is just delete jus wiki media sorce
