Florian: I've tried adding and removing a few games and all come and go correctly between the Installed and Available groups when searching from Unity. Are you sure the problem is not somewhere with Unity-2d?

Or is it that you're watching the result set in the Dash while the installation completes and it doesn't update? That may be the case - I can probably fix that if it's an issue.

This is definitely a big problem. The lists should be updated dynamically whether the user is looking at them or not.

In Unity 2D when hiding showing the dash we do not do anything special to reload the results. For that reason we are always in that case.

Sounds great Mikkel! Do you know when people will be able to test the fix? Is there a daily build?
