Public bug reported: Open gnome-software and search for darktable (or any package that exists as a snap, a deb, and a flatpack).
You will find 2 entries for darktable in the list. One entry bundles the deb and the flatpack, letting you choose one from a drop down menu. The other entry lists the snap, alone. If the functionality already exists to bundle menu entries, then snaps should take advantage of it. In cases where the list is long (search Zoom as an example), one entry may be at the top and the other only visible if you scroll down quite a way. Not bundling all options into a single entry obfuscates choice and reduces clarity/findability. ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Showing that Flatpacks & debs already bundle together and snaps do not" https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873247/+attachment/5355472/+files/Screenshot%20from%202020-04-16%2006-31-10.png -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1873247 Title: snaps, flatpacks, and debs belong in a single entry Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: Open gnome-software and search for darktable (or any package that exists as a snap, a deb, and a flatpack).
