[Scopes] If there is only one category in a scope it should not use the carousel

[Michael Zanetti]

When disabling online search capabilities for the Dash through systemsettings it leaves the music and video scopes with just local music/videos. In this case the grid representation would be much more useful and better looking than the carousel as the carousel leaves most of the screen space unused.

Desired solution
-----
If a scope is designed to only show a single category, agree that it shouldn't use the carousel. Think this should be implemented as a business rule.
Note: scopes with a single category display that category expanded, as you say.

--------UX comment---------

This is part of a bigger redesign project related to Scope cards and category layouts. Carousel layout has been deprecated from the available category layout in Scopes toolkit.

shall we collapse rows in those cases?

[Michael Zanetti (mzanetti)]

imho no. If there's only one category it prbably should be just there in a grid, expanded. Everything else wastes screen space and user interactions for no real reason.

[Andrea Cimitan (cimi)]

I'm on the same advice...

Note marked Unity 8 as invalid and added a couple of other projects on advice from Saviq.

(The "Desired solution" says "agree that it shouldn't use the carousel", but the bug is marked Won't Fix. That can't be right; returning to Fix Committed.)

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[Michi Henning (michihenning)]

Marking this as invalid because we no longer have a carousel.
