Scratch what I said above. I actually found a way to make use of this feature to get Jenkins to show only the enabled jobs by default.

• Create a new List View, say "All Enabled"
• Configure the view with the following options
  • Under Status Filter drop down, select Enabled Jobs Only
  • Check Use a regular expression to include jobs into the view
  • Enter .* for Regular expression field.
• Under Manage Jenkins -> Configure System change the Default View to the above view.

There is no way to edit the default "All" view, so unless there is a way to create another view that automatically shows all the enabled jobs, there is no practical use of this feature.

I also had to look for a while so for anyone else with the same issue it can be found at "Edit View" -> "Job Filters" -> "Status Filter" -> "Enabled jobs only".

The downside for me is that it does not show that anything is hidden, I would like an info line in the bottom saying "N disabled jobs hidden".

If this is fixed, where is the UI for the feature? I can't find it anywhere, and I'm updated to 1.500!

Noted that this duplicates JENKINS-3417 which I created more than a year ago. Glad to see this feature was added. Time to upgrade!

Log:
[FIXED JENKINS-6673] Add setting so ListViews may show only enabled or disabled jobs.

I marked JENKINS-6715 as a duplicate of this.. it is the same, but also requests the ability for "disabled only" (see description of that issue for details).
