This sounds like it wouldn't be easy to implement in the first place. Would you see updating as an adequate installation date? No, I don't think so. Sorting by *installation* date seems important IMO. I've found myself wanting this from time to time. Date of last update isn't the same thing. Yes, then I sure can't think of how to get the installation date. PackageKit doesn't provide it? https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/gtk-doc/PackageKit.html https://www.freedesktop.org/software/PackageKit/gtk-doc/Transaction.html#Transaction.GetDetails < Can't find it I guess we need to request it upstream. Do we have this information for the Flatpak, Snap backends, or KNS backends? No, not that I know of. We could use the date on the desktop file as the "installation date", but I'm pretty sure we can use it reliably as a modification date, hence my asking above. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of bug 397486 *** |
