** Description changed: - software-store 0.2.2, Ubuntu Karmic; Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.12, - Ubuntu Lucid + User Interface Freeze Exception Justification: + What this does: apt: URIs will open with Software Center instead of with apturl. This is part of the Software Center specifications. + + I have tested this change and it works. + + Benefits of this change: When installing software from an apt link, + users will be able to see a screenshot, ratings and reviews (file size, + version number, etc.) as opposed to only seeing a small installer window + with the software description. Ubuntu Software Center is a much better + looking and more useful interface than the simple apturl window. + + Caveat: This still won't affect apt: URIs typed into Firefox (LP: + #634915) as ubufox calls apturl directly. This will however benefit apt: + links in yelp. + + --- + software-store 0.2.2, Ubuntu Karmic; Ubuntu Software Center 1.1.12, Ubuntu Lucid 1. Copy and paste "apt:abiword" (without quotes) into Firefox's address field. (If you already have AbiWord installed, substitute the name of a package that isn't installed.) 2. Press Enter. 3. Choose "OK". What happens: 2. An "Install additional software?" alert appears, asking "Do you want to install package 'abiword'?". What should happen: 2. From <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter#apturl>: "Opening an apt: URL should launch the Ubuntu Software Center directly to the appropriate screen; or if it is already open, focus it, wait until any currently-open alerts or dialogs have been dismissed, and then switch to the appropriate screen."
