@ngraham > Alternative to D23302 <https://phabricator.kde.org/D23302>. According to the AppStream documentation (https://www.freedesktop.org/software/appstream/docs/sect-Metadata-Application.html), > adding an AppStream metadata file with multiple launchable tags will prevent AppStream > info generators from parsing desktop files to determine metadata, I don't think this will do what you intend. What will actually happen here is that an AppStream generator will not *merge* in data from any of the desktop files into the final metadata collection, only being limited to what is in the .desktop file. Having the two `launchable` tags though will make software centers ask the user which app they want to launch if they click on the "Launch" button in a software center, which in this case are both identical. If you just want to hide a .desktop file from being processed by AppStream, there is a much simpler solution: Just add `X-AppStream-Ignore=true` to the .desktop file in question, and it will be hidden (unless it is referenced in a metainfo file of course, in which case it may still be used as data source for that metainfo file).
