Description Allan Day 2016-07-21 14:36:19 UTC 
I have a couple of Flatpak apps installed. The app name that is shown in the shell is different from the name that is shown in Software - "(Nightly) Darktable" appears as "darktable" and "(Nightly) Telegram Desktop" is shown as "Telegram Desktop".

It's really important that the names are consistent - they is the unique identifiers for each app.
