1100484 - Show which apps are already running

Status: RESOLVED WONTFIX

(DevTools Graveyard :: WebIDE, defect)

Description

[J. Ryan Stinnett [:jryans] (Use needinfo, replies may be slow)]

Unlike App Manager, there is no way in WebIDE to know which apps are already running on the device.

In App Manager, the device view would show a "debug" button instead of "start" for apps there were already running, so you could use this to distinguish the two cases.

Here are some possible ways to do this in WebIDE:

* Show a icon in the app list next to apps that are running
* Show a small label / note in the app list next to apps that are running
* Break up the runtime apps list into separate running / not running categories

We intend to move remote debugging into about:debugging (bug 1212802) and then remove WebIDE (bug 1314811), so there are no plans to improve the WebIDE UX at this time.
