We just got a bug report saying gnome-software is actually showing
summaries as a title:

Oh (insert expletive here). Natalia - you are right, this is a duplicate
of bug 169. I was reviewing our outstanding issues with snapd and
for some reason I didn't find that bug and opened a new one.
Th
IIRC, the idea was to capture the AppStream link in the store, and have
snapd query the store for that if asked? I'm happy to go forward with
that, no additional snap.yaml data needed.

Okay, I think I need to point out that the AppStream metainfo format solves all
the problems you have (providing a human-readable translated name, associating
a snap and a .desktop file, integrating it with GNOME Software)- it will even
allow one to specify multiple launch-commands per software
Hi Robert,
Would you mind clarifying for me the difference between this bug and LP
#169?
As per the bug I linked, and the email thread conversation with subject
"Package metadata: title, description and tagline" (sorry for the public
in general but that happened in an internal mailing list),
For reference Click Package Index ("the store") already has a title
field. It is returned by default in the details and search endpoints:
$ curl -s
'https://search.apps.ubuntu.com/api/v1/snaps/search?q=ubuntu-clock-app&size=1'
-H 'X-Ubuntu-Series: 16' | jq .
{
"_embedded": {
"clickindex:p
OK. I have a feeling though that the apps: section is not ordered, which
means we need some other way to call out the "definitive" app for the
snap, i.e. the one which is represented in GNOME Software.
So it feels to me that we need:
* a way to associate desktop files with the apps in the snap (
For completeness, some reasons why the "name" field is bad for displaying:
- It's not translatable.
- It's not able to accurately express the name of snap/app (limited characters
allowed).
- It's optimised for command line usage, not desktop cases (tends to be
unnecessarily short, abbreviated).
-
The challenge with the desktop display name is the one to many
relationship of snaps to apps.
Here's a couple of cases:
1. A single snap with a single (graphical) app. This is probably going
to be the vast majority of snaps used on desktop. In this case using the
"Name" field from the is both des
The name field today is the best fallback, but it is obviously
unsatisfying ("ubuntu-personal-calculator") as primary keys don't make
nice human-friendly names.
I think what we want is a translatable displayname, and I would support
that, but Robert, why not just have this in the desktop file itse
If gnome-software is using summary as a name, it needs to be fixed to
not do that, ASAP.
Whether to have a different field is an unrelated conversation which is
of less urgency than that. We have a name field today, and it should be
used.

Please ignore what gnome-software is currently using. The title and
description of this bug is about adding a new field because none of the
current fields are sufficient. Please don't get hung up on the semantics
on the fields; call them "naming", "describing", "metadata" - whatever.
I don't think
Yes, but the discussion above also implies that we have multiple naming
fields, and that gnome-software is currently using summary as it
("Currently gnome-software is using sumary or name instead of this
field.").
We should discuss the possibility of another field, per above note, but
let's please
I think Robert is using 'name' in the 'primary key' sense, and 'title'
in the 'display name' sense.

The bug description is misleading. There's a single name field in snaps
today, and its called "name". Summary is not a name, and description is
not a name. If gnome-software or anything else is using "summary" as a
name, that's a pretty obvious bug that would be great to see fixed.
We can discuss
Good point. Perhaps just fallback to name - uncapitalised - would be best.

Given the current name conventions I think capitalizing the name would
be a bad heuristic, e.g.
ubuntu-calculator-app -> "Ubuntu Calculator App" (should be "Calculator" or
"Ubuntu Calculator")
minecraft-server-jdstrand -> "Minecraft Server Jdstrand" (should be "Minecraft
Server")
stonscipap-snap
If Snappy would support AppStream metadata... ;-)
