Bug ID: 391756
Summary: appstream URI with bad ID has bad UX
Product: Discover
Version: 5.12.3
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: discover
Assignee: aleix...@kde.org
Reporter: sit...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
`xdg-open appstream://foooooooobar.desktop`
discover will throw up one of those error notifications at the bottom about the
id not being found which disappears ever so swiftly, coupled with bug 391754
you could even miss it entirely.
instead I think what would be handy is loading an error page (like an app page,
albeit for displaying grave errors; kinda like the ones in firefox/chrome)
which displays persistent error information.
something like
"Could not find application 'org.foobar'. It may be that it is simply not
available for your Distribution. Please contact your distribution for more
information."
and have distros provide some url you can link to for contact about this, or
perhaps better yet, use /etc/os-release's SUPPORT_URL.
