[Bug 1364964] Re: Hints exposed through properties needed (e.g.; to discriminate downloads in the indicator)

 

Adding affects indicator-transfer since it will be the first consumer of
this metadata.

The main pieces of information that would help indicator-transfer are:

1. A flag to denote whether this download should be shown in the
indicator at all; e.g. MMS messages should never be shown. Possible key
name: ShowInIndicator

2. A human-readable title. Design's mockups use title examples of "Top
10 animation films", "Sunny day at the beach", Sunny day at the beach
2", but use your best judgement -- if that level of metainfo isn't
available, even a basename of the file we're downloading would be better
than nothing. Possible key name: Title

3. If the download is going to be consumed by a click app, the name of
that app. indicator-transfer needs this for (a) extracting its icon for
the menuitem and (b) to know what app to launch when the user clicks on
a completed download in the indicator's menu. Possible key name:
ClickPackage

Title:
  Hints exposed through properties needed (e.g.;  to discriminate
  downloads in the indicator)

Status in Transfer Indicator:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-download-manager” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  CreateMMS[Download|Upload] should set a property over one of the
  interfaces exposed hinting that this is a system download and not a
  "user" initiated download.

  There is a possibility of using the metadata, or use of a HintSystem
  prop which can be easily parsed.
