The intention was that a scope can specify a specific fallback image. That image should be shown when the normal image load returns an error or an empty image (zero-length ByteArray, or whatever type it is).
This allows the scope to specify a specific fallback image that might be needed to keep style/theming for the scope. If the scope doesn't provide a fallback image, or loading of the specified fallback image fails, the shell can substitute some generic fallback image. That was the thinking at the time we added this feature. What's the problem with doc? If it isn't right, I'll fix it. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Touch seeded packages, which is subscribed to unity-scopes-api in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1531913 Title: Fallback image not shown when no image specified Status in Canonical System Image: Confirmed Status in unity-scopes-api package in Ubuntu: New Status in unity8 package in Ubuntu: Opinion Bug description: In fixing bug #1520631 in unity-scope-click, as the store server will start allowing uploads with no icon specified, it was discovered that Unity8 is not showing the fallback when we do not include the artwork. Instead, it is only shown if we specify invalid artwork. This seems wrong, and instead I would think the fallback would be displayed whenever no other artwork is provided.
