This is sufficient to close the bug for Natty. > 2) Add some "web" emblem to the uninstalled app icons (easy in > unity-place-applications, but may need shell integration to work..?) > 3) Prefix name labels with "Download: " or something. This will probably > result in an ellipsis nightmare, but is trivial to implement If we're to do either of these, we need to evaluate it's value as a general system. In other words, evaluate whether there is sufficient benefit in having the lens/place provide the home screen with emblems/tags for the results. John Lea is looking at Dash 3.0 right now for Oneiric, cc'd. > 4) Split out in a different section in the Dash (requires some work in both the place daemon and in the Unity shell) I have a feeling this is the right end-game anyhow in this case. Apps-for-install is really great to see on the home screen, but they really are a completely different class of thing than apps installed. For example, I would like to see: - matching apps installed - matching local / cloud files - available apps In that order... which suggests they need to be a different section, and that's out of scope for Natty.
