One desktop file instead of two
Created by: KSXGitHub
I don't know about pamac in Manjaro, but I installed pamac via Antergos repo which gives 2 desktop files (screenshot above). Since pamac now has only one GUI for both managing and updating packages, two desktop files is unnecessary.
I suggest:
- Remove "Software Update" desktop file
- Rename "Add/Remove Software" to "Manage Software" or "Pamac"
Edit 1
My suggestion
- Set
Name
to "Pamac" or "Pamac Package Manager" or "Manage Software" - Set
GenericName
to "Package Manager" - Place "Install, update and remove software" in the description (
Comment
) → so "is easier for them to search in the launcher for 'install', 'remove', or 'update' than 'package manager' or 'software manager'" - Add some keywords to
Keywords
for them to search - Desktop file allow multiple entries for multiple actions → Allow us to combine 3 current desktop files (
/usr/share/applications/pamac-{install,manager,updater}.desktop
) into one single desktop file (pamac.desktop
)
