Bug ID: 412641
Summary: When multiple copies of an app are installed from
different sources (e.g. deb,flatpak,snap), only one is
shown in menu
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.16.5
Platform: Neon Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Launcher (Kickoff)
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: watisthis...@outlook.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
OBSERVED RESULT
When I install multiple versions (deb, flatpak or snap) of one same app, only
one of them appears in the KDE Application launcher menu.
For example, if I install Blender 2.79 from Ubuntu repos and then Blender 2.80
from snap, Application launcher menu will have only link to the deb version in
Applications->Graphics.
The native Blender's .desktop file is called blender.desktop in
/usr/share/applications and snap has blender_blender.desktop in
/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications.
Similarly Discord flatpak doesn't appear in Launcher if I have snap version
installed. The flatpak has com.discordapp.Discord.desktop file in
/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share/applications/ and snap has
discord_discord.desktop in /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/.
If I install first Krita snap and then Krita flatpak, the Krita flatpak will
replace the Krita snap Launcher menu entry.
Same with GIMP, SuperTuxKart and so on...
- I used Discover to install my apps.
- .desktop files seem to be in right places and in $XDG_DATA_DIRS.
- _Search from Application Launcher or Krunner still finds both app versions_.
- If I uninstall one app, the other's icon comes back.
- My $XDG_DATA_DIRS is
/usr/share//usr/share/xsessions/plasma:/home/ntt/.local/share/flatpak/exports/share:/var/lib/flatpak/exports/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share:/var/lib/snapd/desktop
EXPECTED RESULT
All versions of an app from different sources have their own entries in
Application launcher menu.
