Polarr is a Snap, but the bug I intended to report here is that on 16.04, none of the items in the category list display or are clickable. The screenshot attached to the original bug report illustrates the problem. I couldn't say for sure whether Polarr is in the list or not because each of the apps display as a box with an ellipsis inside: no icon or text. One weird thing I when switching between categories is that none of the items in the list for each category render or are clickable, but there are different amounts of items in each category. I know I had an internet connection because I was on a video call.
During a demo of the new Polarr Snap I was asked whether the Polarr Snap is in the Software Store and if it showed up under the Graphics category. I could bring up Polarr by searching for it directly. It was kind of embarrassing though when none of the categories in the store worked. We link our existing users to our snapcraft.io/polarr page, but we're not featured, the categories were broken on 16.04, and we don't show up under categories on 17.10, so there is currently no way for new users to find Polarr in the Software Store. Thanks for your patience, I know that y'all have a lot of work to do with all the new Snaps coming out. I've seen categories in the Software Store work before and maybe this is just a temporary regression; I just wanted to share this in case you weren't aware of the problem. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1741588 Title: Categories in Ubuntu Software don't work Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: I'm a developer on the Polarr team for Linux, and users should be able to find the Polarr app under the Photography category of the Ubuntu Software store. I attached a screenshot of the Photography category in the Ubuntu 16.04 Software store. The other categories are similarly non- functional. As you can see, there are only ellipses where there should be icons and descriptive text for each of the photography applications. Clicking on the items doesn't do anything.
