This is not a good idea. If someone is looking for ichat or AIM, promoting an ichat-like program is hardly acceptable, especially when most of these programs try hard not to be like the counterparts.

[Bug 135263] Re: idea: table of replacements of Windows software in Linux in the pack manager
This is bug is not valid for the Ubuntu Software Store, because the mechanism has already been implemented. For example, if you search for imovie it will suggest Kino and Pitivi, even though neither of them mention iMovie in their descriptions. Only half a dozen packages are tagged like this at the moment, but in the coming months we plan to introduce a system on Launchpad for contributors to tag more packages. We could not use either of the Web sites mentioned as data sources, unless the maintainers of those Web sites agreed to license their lists under the GPLv2 (the license of the rest of the app-install-data-ubuntu package). ** Changed in: software-store Status: New = Invalid -- idea: table of replacements of Windows software in Linux in the pack manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

that's good to know :) a similar thing should happen when the user is right clicking on a file to find app to run his file. are you planning tagging apps by what format they support ? -- idea: table of replacements of Windows software in Linux in the pack manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

We don't plan to do anything like that in the Store itself, but you're welcome to propose that for Ubuntu in general.

i think this one need to be part of the Store, right click on a filesoftware store will run the Store and in the search box the user will see the file format. i found an old project that can help http://sourceforge.net/projects/file-opener/ -- idea: table of replacements of Windows software in Linux in the pack manager https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/135263 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
