Title:
Aggregator reloading needs rethinking
Status in Today Scope:
Opinion
Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
The Today scope is basically a place-holder for 'sub scopes'. The
today scope has three problems which cannot both be resolved under the
current system. These are:
1) The scope is reloading at times I do not want it to
2) The scope has not got the latest data (eg sms message) when I want it
3) When the Today scope reloads, not only is it slow (BQ 4.5) but it also
takes down the entire scope system with it for a few seconds.
The problem is that when the Today scope refreshes/reloads, it reloads
all sub-scopes. However, Weather and Today do not need to be reloaded
for 24 hours at a time (maybe weather is an exception here).
I think the Today scope should be a 'dumb placeholder' and the sub-
scopes should be responsible for calling for refresh. The parent
(Today scope) could then refresh an _individual_ sub-scope using ajax
or similar. This would improve all three issues above but challenge
some other fundamentals, eg:
4) Scopes should be stateless (according to current thinking)
I would challenge this also, as it would solve the issue where the My
Music scope shows the user their music sorted by artist, even after
they have changed it to album sorting.
The Today scope has come a long way since I got the phone in April and
I now have it enable since the latest update a few weeks ago. But the
issues I describe above are 'as expected' behaviour and I think this
itself is the bug.
