Ah, OK, it seems the penny is finally dropping :-)
So, if I understand you correctly, you are saying that
@{HOME}/.local/share/unity-scopes/leaf-net/@{APP_PKGNAME}/* is the
writable cache directory for the scope (exactly as it is now), and
@{HOME}/.local/share/@{APP_PKGNAME}/* is the readable directory where
the scope can read data produced by the app?
I think we can do this. In practice, this would mean adding an
app_directory() method to the scopes API that returns the path to the
readable directory that a scope can use to pick up data from the app.
There are some doc implications, but it's doable.
I take it that the readable directory would not be applicable to scopes
that do *not* install together with an app in the same click package?
(We would throw an exception if a scope doesn't have an associated app
and tries to get the directory name.)
Now, if I have this picture correct, it implies that a scope can read
from an app, but an app cannot read from a scope. Is that what we want?
If so, I think I'm good with this. (I haven't implemented anything yet,
so there are the usual caveats. But, off-hand, I don't see a show-
stopper.)
