That can be achieved by changing the NoDisplay key to true in the corresponding desktop files (/usr/share/applications/libreoffice-*.desktop).
However, doing that will completely and always hide those applications from the applications view, so they will effectively become very hard to find for a user. Consider this: I might want math and startcenter to be hidden by default when I search "libreo" in the applications view, because they are less likely to be useful to the majority of users, but if I search "math" I would expect the app to be found. With NoDisplay=true it won't. @Jeremy: are you aware of another mechanism to hide some apps from the applications list by default, without making them completely invisible to the user? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to libreoffice in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1696250 Title: Please hide Start Center and Math Status in libreoffice package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: From GNOME Shell, open the Applications Overview and click the Show Applications button to see the list of apps. Currently, LibreOffice takes up a whole row on my computer (6 icons) which seems excessive with GNOME Shell's current design. I suggest that we do like Fedora and hide the LibreOffice Start Center and LibreOffice Math. Instead of opening a Start Center, it makes more sense for a user to just open the app they want directly. I don't think users want to create a mathematical formula just to create one, but to insert into a document so it makes more sense to start Math from within the other app. To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/1696250/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
