GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 729724
Aisleriot does not ship and AppData file and the ugly distro-provided description is used
Last modified: 2014-08-16 16:45:39 UTC
I just saw that the description of aislerot is very large. Maybe it would be cool to collapse such lon description, so the entire content of the page is shown to the user without scrolling (with the website button, etc) http://i.imgur.com/1dCxGDn.png
How is this a bug in aisleriot? This text doesn't exist anywhere in aisleriot, it has to come from somewhere else…
did I reported here? I was to mean to reported it on gnome-software, sorry.
(In reply to comment #1) > How is this a bug in aisleriot? Sorry, I thought I updated the summary as well, my apologies. The basic problem is that aisleriot doesn't ship an AppData file[1] and so the semi-autogenerated text from the distro is used. Nearly all GNOME applications already ship AppData files and they'll soon be a requirement to be shown in GNOME Software. Any questions or concerns, please yell. Thanks.

Richard, Still, we can have long descriptions (and I think we should allow them), and still allow the user see all the content at first sight. So I think something like android has could be nice: http://i.imgur.com/88pK8sP.png where the description is very long, but it's collapsed (showing a little preview of the firsts lines) to allow the user to see the important content.
If apps stick to the style guide http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/#description then the descriptions are all kinda similar and we're good I think.

I added a skeleton appdata file in git; feel free to improve it.
