Bug description:
There are currently three naming fields in the snap metadata:
name: a codename for the snap (can't contain spaces)
summary: a one-line description of the snap
description: A multi-line description of the snap
For example for the Ubuntu calculator app we have:
name: ubuntu-calculator-app
summary: Ubuntu Calculator app
description: The calculator app for all Ubuntu devices.
What is missing is the 'title' field from the store - this is more
appropriate to use in a graphical system to display this. For example,
this should be "Calculator" for ubuntu-calculator-app.
I think the following needs to be done:
1. A title field needs to be specified in the .snap metadata.
2. snapd needs to return this field for local snaps from the metadata, and
return the store field for searches.
3. The store should take the title field from the metadata when uploading and
automatically set it in the store.
4. Snapcraft needs to have updated documentation / prompt the user to enter
this field.
5. snapd-glib needs support for this field.
6. GNOME Software should use this field where appropriate.
