Properties should be cacheable and by that it means the client can listen to PropertiesChanged after it knows about the initial value. 2. In case of GetAll and GetManagedObjects where all properties are fetched it would be extremely difficult to deal with getter being async, each property could cause a delay in the response and in the meantime the properties already fetched could have changed. 3. The error cases, when the getter fails, are complicated even more by libdbus not supporting changes to its items already in the iterator, so we would have to workaround this. So a property which the value is initially unknown by server should either be omitted or don't be exported as a property if the value cannot be cached consistently. -- Luiz Augusto von Dentz -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-bluetooth" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
