Why would you want to run Math separately? > @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?
No. Well, I mean there is a bit of a hack. You could move the .desktop and appstream metadata for LibreOffice Math into a separate binary package installable from the GNOME Software app. LO Math would still technically be installed because it's needed by the core LO apps Ubuntu ships but without a .desktop it is not very visible. This is similar to how Fedora ships Epiphany by default (discussed in LP: #1689317 ). Ping me on chat if you want more explanation of how that works. But once again, I'm not sure people care that much to want to run LO Math separately instead of from inside LO Writer or whatever app they want the formula in. -- 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
