Click scope departments - addition of a new key to desktop files of core/system apps

 

Hi Core/System Apps developers,

As some of you might have already noticed, we've recently added support for departments in the Ubuntu Store and Apps scopes (click-scope). To complete this feature though, we also proposed a small addition to the desktop files of preinstalled apps. The new desktop key as well as departments support in click scope has been documented here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Touch/Specs/UnityDashDepartements

This change has already been discussed with respective devs and it is about to land in some projects already, but I'm posting the info about it again to wider audience, so that everyone is aware of it. This is especially important in case any new default app gets added to the phone image, in which case it's
desktop file should be updated.

Here is the list of MPs where I added the new X-Ubuntu-Default-Department-ID key, for your reference:
