GNOME control center Apps tab / detail leads to app center home #1378

Hi,

open g-c-c, apps tab
select an app, let's say Firefox
click on App details button
App Center is opened at Explore tab

Expected: app's page in App Center.

Thanks! gnome-control-center simply passes --details appid to the store, where 'appid' is the ID of the desktop application (https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-control-center/tree/panels/applications/cc-applications-panel.c?h=applied/ubuntu/mantic#n183). So we'll need to find the installed snap/deb that provides that specific application and push the appropriate page (and add a corresponding CLI handler).

Had a brief look at this again. We already have a --snap snapname cli handler that navigates to the respective snap page directly. With the 'appid' coming from gnome-control-center it's a bit trickier, since we don't know whether it refers to a snap or a deb. Some examples from testing it locally:

firefox_firefox (snap)
mattermost-desktop_mattermost-desktop (snap)
htop (deb)
org.gnome.Calculator (deb)

I can confirm that this issue still happens on a fully updated Ubuntu 24.04 system with latest stable App Center.
