Title:
[FFe, UIFe] New animation for adding launchers for newly installed
applications
Status in Unity:
Fix Released
Status in “unity” package in Ubuntu:
Fix Committed
Bug description:
As decided at UDS-P, Software Center should be integrated deeper with
the Unity launcher. The spec for how it should happen, is here:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#Learning_how_to_launch_an_application
Here's a YouTube video demonstrating this in action (It's my video running
Unity from my branch, see the attached branch for it):

Now for the implementation details. I broke down implementation into two
phases. First phase involved these features:
1) An app being installed is shown in the launcher with a tooltip "Waiting to
install"
2) A progress bar on the launcher item displays the download/install progress.
3) When the app gets installed, the launcher items becomes usable, and the
tooltip gets changed to the app name.
First phase (bug #761851) was implemented as part of this merge
request here: https://code.launchpad.net/~bilalakhtar/unity/software-
center-integration-for-o/+merge/71905 . Note that this was pre-feature
freeze and pre-UIF. That branch added one string, "Waiting to
install", which got in before the freezes.
It shipped as part of Unity 5.2. But due to the code getting
refactored, the implementation broke right afterwards, as one line got
missed out; see bug #932280 and the attached branch. I didn't realize
this until the freezes had passed, and I wrote a one-line change to
fix it, which remains unmerged until now:
https://code.launchpad.net/~bilalakhtar/unity/fix-sc-launcher-
integration/+merge/93908 . The reason why it wasn't merged, was
because it lacked tests. By the time it was reviewed, I completed
phase 2 too, which contained these features:
1) Animate the movement of the icon from the USC window to the Unity launcher.
2) Make the launcher icon wiggle when installation is complete.
3) Ensure the launcher icon doesn't start blinking when clicked in the
"Waiting to install" phase.
Phase 2 fixes the regression as well as adds the above features. So, it
introduces these changes, from Unity 5.2 (since in 5.2, phase 1 was working
well, phase1 broke AFTER 5.2), that need FFe and UIFe:
1) The behavior changes (flying icon) rather than just a usual icon add.
2) Launcher icon wiggles when installation finishes, unlike 5.2, where it
just became usable, with no extra effect.
Phase 2, along with tests, is contained in this merge request (branch
is also linked to this bug):
https://code.launchpad.net/~bilalakhtar/unity/sc-integration-
phase2/+merge/95795 . A UIFe and FFe is needed before that branch gets
merged into trunk bound for Unity 5.8.
The YouTube video which I linked at the top of this description, is
actually the above branch in action.
Do note that all changes mentioned above are needed in the unity
package only. The software center side of the implementation has been
in since before the freezes.
Testing: I've tested this branch thoroughly with all corner cases,
etc. The linked branch also contains an autopilot test to ensure that
the implementation never breaks in the future. The implementation is
very stable, the few crashes I experienced last week were ironed out
earlier this week, and never had issues since then.
Please review this FFe and UIFe request.
