Description Uwe Kaminski (reporter) 2011-09-19 18:35:39 UTC
SOFTWARE VERSION: 
0.4

EXACT STEPS LEADING TO PROBLEM: 
1. Run Miniature and connect to server
2. Wait 10 Minutes
3. Try to accept a seek offer

EXPECTED OUTCOME: 
Only valid games are shown in the list

ACTUAL OUTCOME: 
Hundreds of games are shown. 99% of them are already running or already
finnished so the user has to scroll down the whole list to accept an game at
the end of the list which is "fresh". Alternatively the user can accept games
from the top of the list until there is one seek request is valid.

This problem will become smaller if filters work but it is still there if you
look for game seeks with common parameters. As Harmattan is a Multitasking
system it will happen often that people are doing other stuff while Miniature
is open in background.

SOLUTION PROPOSAL:
Implement a "clear list" button which deletes all entries from the list. After
this every new request could be shown in the list.

REPRODUCIBILITY: 
always

I believe this will be less of a problem when we implement seek filters in 0.5:

Bug 12367 - Seek search filters don't work

Even less of a problem when we address the real issue:

Bug 12354 - List of games: Show available game offers only

In the meantime there is a quick fix: currently the seek model has a huge limit
of 999 seeks or so. It could be limited to 50 and probably everything would be
fine too.

Adding an extra button to the UI is not the solution, I believe.

Fully agree with comment 1. The sliding window size is currently 1024. @Uwe:
Search for it in the code and test with more suitable values ;-)

I'll doo as soon as my working environment is ready again. After Ubuntu Upgrade
I had go back to 11.04 and now I'm re-installing Qt SD and all the stuff. But
after that I'll work on this.
