In this video, via Installed apps you can go to Warehouse instead of Flatseal? But in an earlier video I saw you go to Flatseal..
Also, an “open app” button on the app page of an installed app (and in the installed app list) would be nice.
Last nitpick, about Installed Apps but perhaps more pages:
- why have 1 button on a mostly empty row, and hide the only additional action in a 3-dot menu? It’s already a bit strange to have a menu for 1 item. But there is also plenty of space to just show it as button on that row.
You could have buttons for “Open”, “Uninstall”, “Permissions” and, if you want “Preferences” on that row without a menu..
I guess the final setup is still being thought out? With the way Flatpak is evolving, if everything goes well, most users won’t even need to use an app like that. But for simplicity’s sake, the app needs to have the most stable, UX-friendly interface possible.
Also, I asked in another post @j0rge what will happen to the KDE-integrated Flatpak permission manager. I think it should either go away, or Bazaar should get the option to select from a list of permission managers. If the user selects the KDE permission manager, it then gets reactivated and appears in the system settings.
I might be wrong, but you should be able to disable the KDE permission manager with a simple config edit or a flag?
We havent really thought about that deep yet. Propably it will stay for the time being. We havent even looked if it can be removed (if its a kcm).
But that is not a major thing, and can be tackled later

Just a small little sneak peek on what the wonderful @ledif is working on for KDE/Aurora with regards to Bazaar - integration in the app search!

To wit;
I’m not sure reality would work out that way. Affinity and other apps would have no incentive to use flatpak’s future potential buying option.
First, how would buying an app protect against sharing it for free to other users? Would flatpak/Flathub implement some form of DRM? Linux users would hate that. They already hate the Snap Store and DRM is worse than anything they’re doing.
Second, Flathub plans to charge a 30% fee. There’s absolutely no reason to take that hit when there are other options that don’t.
The most realistic scenario in the event of a Linux release, a flatpak package would be free. Affinity would implement DRM and have you pay on their site to activate it.
New thread time!
