I also tried this in a VM which didn't have libreoffice installed - it
launched the welcome window, not libreoffice base. I suspect Simos
hadn't restarted GNOME Software (which is confusing, but the way is
works). Marking as verified.

On Ubuntu 16.04 (xenial) I enabled the `xenial-proposed` repository and

Title:
GNOME Software only supports running one
GNOME Software currently doesn't actually introspect anything from the
.snap directly. It uses snapd which I understand it is the desired
design of snapd (I like this).
So what I need is:
- API in snapd to explicitly map which app has which .desktop file and how to
get the contents of them.
OR
-
The solution we ended up implementing to determine if an app is
graphical was in bug 1595023.
It would be much better to get an explicit mapping of apps to .desktop
files and use that.

I should point out that there isn't a clear 1:1 mapping between desktop
files and apps, and that some of the things mentioned here would impose
this.
FWIW IMHO if gnome software needs to choose one app from a snap to run
because of its own limitations it should choose the default app, the one
Robert: what do you actually need here? We already support multiple
desktop files, and they already hold metadata. gnome-software can
already inspect to see which of these is available, I believe? What are
the missing pieces?

More food for thought on the above note: the desktop file cannot call
the real underlying command by itself! That would break confinement. It
calls the confined binary under /snap/bin instead, which is what the
"command:" attribute specifies. So, necessarily respected.

Another side note: there's no special meaning to the order of commands
in snap.yaml. We can reorder it, and snapcraft can reorder it, so please
don't take it to mean something specific as that'll easily break.

@Mark: The command is not duplicated. The desktop file will call the
actual command defined in the snap.yaml. It may provide additional
arguments, but those will indeed be _in addition_ to the ones in
snap.yaml.

Every application may already have an associated desktop file under

I would hope that snapcraft can be made to automatically populate the
apps data by detecting the .desktop files. In this case, the command
does seem redundant. If GNOME Software knew the .desktop file it would
use that information instead of the command.

A note here that when you run "snap info libreoffice", the order of the
commands actually changes every time you run it. I suppose that snapd
does not have the order of the commands as given in snapcraft.yaml.
That's what I get with snap 2.12
A workaround could be for Ubuntu Software to pick the
OK, I'm +1 with that unless you have another suggestion. Could we put
the desktop file as an entry under the app command? I.e.
apps:
foo:
desktop: path/to/file.desktop
command: bin/foo.py
One thing that seems awkward is the duplication of the command in the
desktop file and the apps
snapd currently doesn't (directly) expose the .desktop files, but if we
had those we could get a better experience.
