AppStream issues with various KDE applications

2017-01-04 Thread Richard Hughes
Hi all, We've been looking at the AppStream extractor issues in Fedora 25, and we've come across quite a few broken KDE applications. Broken apps are not visible in the Ubuntu, Fedora or OpenSUSE application installers. The apps include: * Kjots * braindump * choqok * kgraphviewer * konquero

AppData and the gettext locale

2016-01-25 Thread Richard Hughes
tl;dr: Please add your_gettext_domain_here to your AppData files. Longer version: When users are searching for software it is very important to answer the the question "Is this localized in my language?" The way we calculate this in the AppStream builder is to look at the compiled .mo files, brea

Desktop file renaming: ark, dolphin, dragonplayer, kig, kiriki, kshisen and picmi

2015-09-07 Thread Richard Hughes
Hi, The following apps changed their desktop name (and not updated the AppData file at the same time) in the last few weeks: * ark -> org.kde.ark * dolphin -> org.kde.dolphin * dragonplayer -> org.kde.dragonplayer * kig -> org.kde.kig * kiriki -> org.kde.kiriki * kshisen -> org.kde.kshisen

Reminder about those renaming .desktop files

2015-04-16 Thread Richard Hughes
Hi all, I've noticed a few projects have renamed thier .desktop files recently, i.e. from foo.desktop to an org.kde.foo namespace. If you do change your application-id, please update both the filename of the AppData file to match the basename of the new .desktop file, AND change the inside the .a

Request for Keywords in .desktop files

2015-02-07 Thread Richard Hughes
Hi all, 19% of applications in Fedora use "Keywords" in the desktop files, some of which appear in multiple languages. This is awesome, as it allows applications like apper and gnome-software to match search queries on the keyword and not just the name, e.g. matching "excel" for LibreOffice Calc.

AppData/AppStream progress in KDE

2014-12-19 Thread Richard Hughes
Hi all, My name is Richard Hughes, and I'm one of the guys behind the AppData/AppStream initiative. I've uploaded a page with the current AppStream metadata status for Fedora 22 -- quite a few KDE applications are missing easy-to-add things like desktop comments and keywords and some
