Strange, installing Flatpaks seems to work fine in 0.11.3-3 now (with gnome-software 3.28.1-0ubuntu4.18.04.1 (the new version is a patch for snaps from bionic-proposed, nothing to do with Flatpak I don't think)). Glad that an Ubuntu dev is on it with keeping Flatpak up to date! :D

I'm on an up to date Artful install What I did was:- Click on http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk/2017/09/download-pithos-pandora-app-1-4 Click the flathub link:- https://flathub.org/repo/appstream/io.github.Pithos.flatpakref This downloaded the flatpakref file. I clicked the file in my browser, nothing happened I then tried finding the file in nautilus and double clicked it. GNOME Software launched and presented an error "Don't know how to handle 'file:///home/alan/Downloads/io.github.Pithos.flatpakref' (see screenshot). If I search for pithos in GNOME Software I am able to find the older version from the deb repo, but not the newer version from flathub. Do we not support flatpak/flathub out of the box? Or is my system uniquely hosed?
