It looks like, over time, a number of additional fields have crept into the JSON, most likely because scope authors and the shell have made gentlemen's agreements. This includes (at least), mascot, emblem, attributes, summary, background, and overlay-color. It also looks like there are result-specific settings (such as mascot) that are undocumented, and for which there is no accessor/setter in the Result or SearchResult classes.
We need to construct a definitive list of which fields are used by the shell, both per-category and per-result, so we can document them. Otherwise, all these features will remain inaccessible to outside scope authors. As discussed with Saviq on IRC, he'll find someone who can construct this list by inspecting the shell code, so we can update the scopes documentation accordingly. In future, whenever the shell interprets something new in the JSON, or changes the meaning of an existing entry, we'll need to raise a bug with scopes-api so we can update the doc. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-shell in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1324142 Title: Support providing fallback images Status in Thumbnail generator for all kinds of files: New Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in unity-scopes-shell package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: If the URI for a scope result icon can not be loaded, the scope result is not easily visible. To counter this, the shell should replace the result image with a fallback image if the Image QML component changes to the Error state. At a minimum a single standard fallback image would be sufficient, but letting the scope pick a custom fallback via the category renderer template would be better. One reason I'd like to see this is so we can switch the album art image provider to stop returning a fallback image. This has been requested by the music-app guys, and seems sensible since we might want different fallbacks in different contexts: https://code.launchpad.net/~jamesh/thumbnailer/no-fallback- albumart/+merge/219460 It might also be useful for remote scopes using http: URIs for result icons.
