Re: [Bug 1661590] Re: When launching a snap from Ubuntu Software, it runs the first command alphabetically

In the same way that we can provide multiple entries to /snap/bin/ it
makes sense to offer multiple .desktop files. Would that get you closer
to a great desktop experience?

[Bug 1661590] Re: When launching a snap from Ubuntu Software, it runs the first command alphabetically

2017-02-07 Thread Robert Ancell
We see the multiple commands but there's no way to differentiate between
them. At the moment we're just launching the first command in the list.

I think as a first step the order should be as the developer intended,
so picking the first one is an appropriate default.

If we want to support launching multiple applications from a snap, then we 
probably need more metadata. For example we probably need:
- Some sort of description for each app
- We need to know if some apps are graphical and some are not (we're looking at 
the slots the snap requests to use this).

We also need to work out how to expose this in GNOME Software, either
multiple launch buttons per snap or break the snap into multiple
entries.

** Summary changed:

- When launching a snap from Ubuntu Software, it runs the first command 
alphabetically
+ GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap

Adding Robert - is there anything you need from snapd to supoprt this? I
think provide all the information if there are multiple apps in a single
snap now?
