Hi Chris, thanks for picking this up. 1. At the moment there is no way to tell from the Software GUI app that an application is a snap or a deb. Snaps are prioritised, and so will appear at the top of the list when doing a search. But there is currently no way of telling the packaging format from the Software application. If an app is listed twice then there is a high chance that the top one will be the snap.
2. A U1 login is required to authenticate against the Snap store. It would be great if we could document the steps involved in logging on to the store via Software. This should be straightforward. The prompts in Software are a simple web-view to the normal U1 sign-up/sign-in pages. 3. We're looking at a way to hide snaps from Disks as I think it is confusing. But right now, as you say, it shows them. If we can explain that Disks also shows "loop devices such as mounted ISO images or installed Snap applications" (maybe with an explanation of what a loop device is) and that these can be ignored - I think that will cover it for most users. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1658785 Title: Snap documentation in 17.04?
