I have experienced the same with a fast installing app and agree that it
can probably escape you too quickly. It's also a valid point that you
wouldn't necessarily want to add the app to your launcher immediately
upon installing it, and may do so later after you try it out. This does
seem to invalidate the current functionality in many use-cases.
It appears the other bug # 670403 has a few trains of thought on how to
implement.
I believe we should keep the current implementation for convenience (i.e. when
you're installing an app that you know you want to add to the launcher) but
also add another place in USC where you can choose which installed apps to add
to the launcher, at any later time.
However, I believe this begs the question of whether this is functionality that
should exist in USC or in Unity (or both?).
After software has actually been downloaded/installed/upgraded via USC it would
seem that USC's role is over - I'm leaning towards this actually being
something that should be achievable via Unity directly as it seems like quite a
significant usability issue if we were to force users to open up USC just to
add a new icon to their launcher. It would be a matter of convenience for a
user to be able to achieve this in a central place in USC but I think this
should be secondary option only.
Just my thoughts.
