Description mateMat 2020-01-17 14:05:06 UTC

SUMMARY
A lot of users are relying on packages provided by third party providers that are not using the traditional repository scheme (this usually restrics user to ubuntu-based distro). For instance, in you want to use Synology Note Station or Rambox, you have to install the software binary via Discover, but you will not receive updates, and while most of these softwares have self-check features to tell you when it is outdated, some don't. And you have no means to filter software that were installed via precomplied binaries in Discover.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download a .deb of your favorite software and install it via Discover (as a default method on KDE-neon).
2. Open Discover and filter the softwares installed
3. You cannot find the software you have installed via this method

OBSERVED RESULT
It is impossible to list the packages installed manually.

EXPECTED RESULT
A list of manually installed binaries.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: KDE-neon 5.17
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 5.17.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.66.0
Qt Version: 5.13.2

Can you search for it on the Installed page?
