appdata: Improve appdata for AppStream 1.0 #628
Conversation
"Icons and categories If there’s a type="desktop-id" launchable, they get pulled from it. Most of the icon not found errors with the flathub builder can be traced down to the launchable value not matching the desktop file name. Don’t set them in the AppData unless you want to override them (even though then it might be a better idea to patch the desktop file itself)."

last time i tried, i couldn't find a way to tell gettext how to translate the keywords as cleanly as with the XML the desktop file has this awful in an ideal situation, the desktop file would get generated from the more precise appdata, rather than the opposite: do you know if it's currently possible? |
|
I extracted the latest drawing appdata from the recent appstream file, and the keywords seem okay to me here. Gettext uses translated keywords to add to the XML file rather than translating them one by one. |
yes because i actively review each translation before merging them, to ensure every language always has "Paint" as an untranslated keyword, and semicolons after each keyword in this string, so it's parsed correctly and the appdata are complete in every language. But it's kinda tedious to do... But if it's not something meson or appstream-util or gettext can do from the .in files, then ok i can keep doing like i was doing until now |
