Hi all,
So, as you may know; we're slated to revamp the dash home Precise
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/unity/+bug/885738.
Option 2 in the bug is trivial to do, so let's not talk about that.
Option 1 oth requires some thinking in order to do in a clean way. Of
course we can hard code it in as a hack in the first cut, but that's not
something I think we can ship (consider that in Oneiric the More Apps
shortcut in the home screen becomes defunct when unity-lens-applications
is uninstalled which is not quite elegant :-)).
To do option 1 properly I propose we add some way lenses can advertise
categories in their global results models that should show up on the
home screen. We need this because John's draft requires us to show both
the Recent Files and Downloads categories from the files lens - and
currently the dash just collates all results from a lens in global
search under the same category (named after the lens).
This also implies that we must be able to show more than on category per
lens when searching from the home screen as we'll need the search in the
files lens to segregate results from Recent Files and Downloads in
distinct categories.
Comments?
Cheers,
Mikkel
