Bug ID: 400998
Summary: appdata missing launchable key
Product: kirigami gallery
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: notm...@gmail.com
Reporter: sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
appdata is autogenerated from kpackage, thus lacks a <launchables> definition
https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/chap-Metadata.html#tag-launchable
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. build kirigami
2. look at ./src/org.kde.kirigami2.gallery.appdata.xml
3. find it missing launchable
4. add gallery to a distro and have final appstream data generated
5. install gallery via discover
OBSERVED RESULT
discover has no means to start the gallery because it relies on the launchable
field to tell it a desktop file to look for
EXPECTED RESULT
discover should be able to start a newly installed application
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
various automatism also rely on well written appdata to figure out the
associated desktop file (e.g. snap bundle building can automatically detect and
pick up desktop files if they were properly defined as launchables)
to fix this I suggest writing the appdata manually. seeing as this is an
application the auto generation is fairly meh. iff you really want auto
generation I suggest you don't use kpackagetool but instead rely on
appstream-generator to automatically extract minimal appdata from the
application desktop file.
