Description Cajus Pollmeier 2024-09-30 06:26:50 UTC
Like for gnome-search providers, I'd like to enable flatpak apps to export krunner/dbusplugins/*.desktop files. It's nice if an application could pop up in the list of available runners after installing out of the box, without having to add additional stuff manually.

I've done a pull request for that already on the flatpak side here:

https://github.com/flatpak/flatpak/pull/5938

There is nothing to do on the krunner code side, but as you can read in the PR, one of the flatpak devs wants to have some "krunner will never do something malicious from within that desktop in the future" statement that I can't give.

Could anyone help out there?

Fixing my wording:

There is nothing to do on the krunner code side, but as you can read in the PR, one of the flatpak devs wants to have some "krunner will never do something malicious from within that *desktop file* in the future" statement that I can't give.
