Bug#1016921: krita: Way to many .desktop files all with same app name
Package: krita
Version: 1:5.0.8+dfsg-1
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: eyalroz1@gmx.com
Dear Maintainer,
When a user of a Gtk-based DE, such as Cinnamon, opens the "Open With..."
dialog for a format which can be opened with krita, and with the krita package
installed, that user gets 23 (!) instances of "Krita" suggested to them as one
of the other applications. This is not useful, and actually kind of a bad idea.
The cause is 23 different .desktop files bundled with krita!
At the very least, these .desktop files should have distinguished names in the
GUI, otherwise nobody is ever going to use the right one and it's useless to
even have them.
But beyond this, I doubt that it's a good idea to have these 23 desktop files
to begin with. It would probably make sense to have a single .desktop file with
multiple mime types in it (I'm pretty sure that's supported).
