Hejsan, I'm quite new to manifests, though I did make an effort to read some of the threads and specs. I'm told posting to the list is the way to go for proposing a new addition to the spec so that's what I'm doing.
I'm working on in app search, which works roughly like this: The app is defined to support searching (in the manifest) As you type in the Unity Dash you'll see icons of apps that can be searched Searchable apps don't need to be running to invoke search The UI toolkit provides a search component - when search is invoked the app renders search results. The header of the app features a search text field much like the Dash design and behavior wise. The implementation happens in bug 1186965 ( https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-ui-toolkit/+bug/1186965). A working example app exists, UI toolkit API is still work in progress, and the dash side is not yet there. Now I imagine Any app that is searchable can be opened in search mode with keywords regardless of whether it's running. The dash needs to have a list of searchable apps. "searchable": true would be an optional boolean value in the manifest. Setting this would enable Dash and HUD integration. On the app side, it inolves at least one signal that is used to populate results based on a keyword ciao, Christian -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~ubuntu-appstore-developers More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
