That's nice to know. At least there's progress on the improvement of scopes.But
it's still worrying for me that there are cases where the scope needs to fully
refresh just to update a text in a result card, for example tag it as

Hello,I think that for now, in example, scope Today is not useful as it can be.
Lets look at last calls part - If I don't refresh scope, I see last calls from
time scope was refreshed. If I want to see real last calls (when I made some
calls between last refresh of scope and present) I can:a) refresh Today scope -
what is really slowb) go to calls app - so what is the point of using scope?In
this example (any many others) Scopes philosophy to have faster access to read
data is wrong.
Maybe better solution would be refreshing scope, even in background, when data
changes? It above example scope should refresh data when I make another call.In
NearBy scope it should refresh when we change position that having an impact on
the results of objects in the nearby (or when we move too fast (car) and too
often (running) - it should adjust, maybe less frequent).
What do you think about that?
We already have some infrastructure in place to auto-refresh certain scopes
when appropriately signaled. You can see this if you browse to the music or
videos scopes and then copy some music or videos to the phone via USB. What
happens is that the media scanner processes the files as they're copied and
then sends out a D-Bus signal to tell the dash to reload the relevant scope (it
isn't the scope that asks for the refresh, because the scope process has most
likely shut down due to inactivity at the point the files are being copied).
So to do what you ask, the phone app would need to signal the dash in the same
way to indicate when the today scope should be refreshed.
