Ah, OK, it seems the penny is finally dropping :-) So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that @{HOME}/.local/share/unity-scopes/leaf-net/@{APP_PKGNAME}/* is the writable cache directory for the scope (exactly as it is now), and @{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/* is the readable directory where the scope can read data produced by the app?
I think we can do this. In practice, this would mean adding an app_directory() method to the scopes API that returns the path to the readable directory that a scope can use to pick up data from the app. There are some doc implications, but it's doable. I take it that the readable directory would not be applicable to scopes that do *not* install together with an app in the same click package? (We would throw an exception if a scope doesn't have an associated app and tries to get the directory name.) Now, if I have this picture correct, it implies that a scope can read from an app, but an app cannot read from a scope. Is that what we want? If so, I think I'm good with this. (I haven't implemented anything yet, so there are the usual caveats. But, off-hand, I don't see a show- stopper.) -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1384286 Title: add directory allowing scopes and apps to share data Status in “apparmor-easyprof-ubuntu” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “click-reviewers-tools” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Status in “unity-scopes-api” package in Ubuntu: In Progress Bug description: Summary says it all, just need to decide on the directory.
