Description Jeremy Bicha 2016-06-07 23:06:46 UTC
It appears that GNOME Shell (and its GNOME Classic mode) is the only desktop that supports GNOME's app folders.

Therefore, when the Software app is used on other desktops, the Installed tab should not show:
1. The checkmark in the headerbar
2. The appfolder names under the app names in the app list (like "Utilities" for "Archive Manager").

Makes sense; want to have a go at a patch? Thanks.

since other desktops don't support GNOME's app folders

Fixing #2 in my original bug report is more work. We could use a separate bug for that or keep this one open until that gets fixed too.
Comment 4 Richard Hughes 2016-06-13 10:45:37 UTC
Pushed with a few changes, thanks. We can just use this bug for the appfolder changes too.

^ Here's a patch for the gnome-3-20 branch. I don't think we can backport the gsettings work since that would need updated translations, right?

Pushed to 3-20, thanks!
