[Bug 1267184] Re: [Apps Scope] apps that are being downloaded/installed are not shown differently from un-installed apps

 

*** This bug is a duplicate of bug 1388179 ***
    https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1388179

** Description changed:

  If a user chooses to install an app but doesn't stay on the app preview
  while it downloads and installs (or the device sleeps in the meantime),
  when they see the list of apps, the app that is being downloaded is
  still shown as un-installed, with no distinction made.
  
  This needs design input - some platforms show the app in the list of
  'installed apps' (eg iOS home screen) but have a progress bar or some
  other badge to show that it's not ready to run yet.
  
  This affects both unity8 and the scope because there will be additional
  state for the scope to send to the dash in the apps list results.
  
  ------ UX Comment ------
  
- This is part of a bigger redesign project (Scopes toolkit) and it can't
- be fixed as a single bug. The desired resolution and specs will be
- updated as soon as they are available.
+ The desired solution (although temporary) will be creating a new
+ category in the Apps scope to display all new/recently installed apps.
+ They can live there until the user launch them for the first time (or
+ move them to a user custom created section, once this functionality is
+ implemented). After this (ie. a week), they will appear on the 'All'
+ apps category displayed by alphabetical order.
