Bug ID: 481157
Summary: Going to window overview and listing the application
name should always list installed application first,
not some KDE discover store page
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: master
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Activity Switcher
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: e...@horse64.org
CC: ivan.cu...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
If I go to window overview and enter the full name of an installed flatpak
application and press enter I would have thought that it would be obvious I
want to launch it, but maybe it's not? Because somehow plasma thinks it should
list it as the 2nd result and as 1st and default choice, the KDE discover
page... even though it's already installed. This makes no sense to me: when
it's already installed, why would I want to just go and sit and look at the
discover page again rather than just use it? So in case this is intentional, I
don't quite understand the workflow of how it works right now. My apologies if
I'm missing something. (As a side note, GNOME Shell behaves as I described and
will list the installed app first, and the store page as some later result.)
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install discord from flathub
2. Activate window overview via e.g. the default top-left hot corner
3. Type "discord"
4. Press enter
OBSERVED RESULT
Opens KDE Discover store page. I would suggest this isn't what 99% of users
want. It's also not obvious at all how to change this, if it's possible at all.
I think I'm just going to uninstall KDE discover for now if it breaks results
in this way. That does actually fix this behavior, but of course means I have
to use the flatpak command line tool and can't use any of discover's update and
browsing functionality.
EXPECTED RESULT
The installed discord app opens.
