Title: drop version numbers from users' .desktop file names Status in “click” package in Ubuntu: Fix Committed Status in “upstart-app-launch” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The version number in click .desktop file in users' ~/.local/share/applications cause issues on different levels for apparently no advantage. Every time you want to find a .desktop file for an app, you either need to store the whole file name, with the version number (which breaks on app upgrades, unless you react to it somehow), or find a matching .desktop file based on the developer / app id and hookname every time. App upgrades / removals are tricky unless we start reacting to signals from the click system itself. Since in users' realms there can only be one version of an app installed at any given time, it feels like exposing this complication there is unnecessary. What do you think?
