Title: Dash - Drag and drop app install from App Lens to Launcher is broken Status in Ayatana Design: Fix Committed Status in Unity: Triaged Status in unity package in Ubuntu: Triaged Bug description: When in the App Lens (and Dash home) results view and previews, the user should be able to drag and drop application icons to the Launcher to install the application. This same interaction should also be triggered when a user clicks on a 'Available for download' application. Desired solution: - dragging and dropping a application from the 'Apps available to download category header' onto the Launcher should: 1) add the application icon to the launcher in a grayed out state 2) install the application. As the application is installed, the app icon should fill with colour. When installation is complete, the icon should be in its normal state fully filled with colour. Remember to also review bug https://bugs.launchpad.net/unity-design/+bug/676453 for details of the installing animation. =============================== This bug would be an ideal bug for someone to get started hacking on Unity, here's some information: * Time to fix: 10h * Difficulty: normal * Implementation: This bug should piggy back on the implementation of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/676453 using the same internal call structure, but setting up the apt-daemon install process by itself. It's not unimaginable to consider even having the dash use the same interface for installing as the software center (making the same dbus call as mention in bug #676453) * Where to look: src/Launcher.cpp * Workflow information: http://unity.ubuntu.com/getinvolved/ To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ayatana-design/+bug/732526/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages Post to : dx-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~dx-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
