Created attachment 111535 [details] Kdenlive thumbnail Do we have any control over this? The icon/thumbnail for Kdenlive that's currently showing up in Discover is really poor quality. It looks like a pixelated enlargement of a too-small icon.
The icon comes from Kdenlive itself, but can be modified by downstream packaging. The versions of Kdenlive available from the Flathub or Kdeapps flatpak repos both use a better icon, which comes from the app itself: https://cgit.kde.org/kdenlive.git/plain/data/icons/128-apps-kdenlive.png So the lousy icon you're seeing comes from Neon packaging, which is based on Ubuntu 16.04 packaging. In Kubuntu 17.04, I see the better icon, which means that it's already been fixed in later Ubuntu releases. So the bug is that Neon is inheriting Ubuntu 16.04's lousy icon for the kdenlive package. This will be fixed automatically once Neon is re-based on top of Ubuntu 18.04, but could be fixed in the current version; up to the Neon packagers.

With just a month or so to go until Ubuntu 18.04, I won't blame anyone for not making this fix a priority.
This doesn't affect user edition which uses appstream data. Dev editions don't have appstream data so the contents of Discover will always be a bit crappy.

Feel free to close this and chalk up another closed bug, even if it's not really a bug. Thanks for the details. Added to my ever-growing folder called "How KDE Works".
As a Discover developer who uses Neon Dev Unstable, I'd support adding appstream information to the dev images. Not having it makes developing for Discover a bit annoying sometimes.

This was fixed in the Bionic re-base.
Last I know is that it wasn't. Maybe it got fixed this week?
Hmm, well it seems much better than it was in the 16.04-based Neon, at least.
Well the data coming from ubuntu is better (newer) for sure.
