Note the gnome-sofware task is only open to make this more visible, the solution is entirely in appstream-glib.

The solution is to not scan the installed .desktop files - there is sufficient information provided by snapd. [Test Case] 1. Open GNOME Software 2. Install a snap (e.g. ohmygiraffe) 3. Switched to "Installed" tab Expected result: ohmygiraffe is shown once in the installed list. Observed result: ohmygiraffe is shown twice. One entry has data from the snap metadata, the other from the installed .desktop file. [Regression Potential] There is some risk of breaking other appstream behaviour. The risk is low because we only filter out the snapd specific directory that contains this data.
