** Description changed: The eight icons displayed on the Dash Home screen before a search is performed need to be removed. They no longer serve a relevant purpose with the Dash and Launcher performing all required launching functions. Additionally user testing has shown that they are a cause of confusion and difficulty, as they launch programs but lack the other features inherent to the other icons that are present in the dash. Desired Solution: - Remove the 8 large icon links on the Dash Home Implement the following two options for user testing, with a means to toggle between the two options for user testing: - Option 1: Replace with a default view (as used by the other Lenses) showing the following category headers: "Recently Used Apps" (excludes apps currently in the Launcher), "Recent Files", and "Recent Downloads". The icons used for the category headers should be the same as used for the equivalent category headers in the Lenses (except, the music lens should collate Songs and Albums into one Music category). - Option 2: Do not replace the icons with anything, the Dash should vertically resize. --------------- IMPLEMENTATION STATUS: - Attached branches ready for *preliminary* testing, before I put them up for review. + Everything mostly working. Except for the first item below we are about ready to merge-propose: - There are a few known issues at this point: + - Add a few more tests cases to the rather complex HomeLens class - - i18n of user visible labels missing because UnityCore does not have - i18n yet - - - Sorting of lenses/categories. apps.lens should go first. Currently random. - Planning a gsettings key with priorities - - - Activate correct hit, waiting for search.finished() and correct seqnum - - - When first shown the dash home screen doesn't show anything + - Music lens to collate results into one category (wip by mhr3) - Recent Apps doesn't filter out running apps that are not favorites + (wip by mhr3) - Unity2d enablement (should be easy, by design of the HomeLens class)
