            Bug ID: 459653
           Summary: Differentiate Flatpak applications from distribution’s
                    applications
    Classification: I don't know
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY
Please apologize if this issue has already been reported, but I could not find
it.

In plasma (currently running 5.25.4), there is no way to distinguish
applications installed from distribution repositories from applications
installed via Flatpak (and I suppose Snap, but I did not try). This would be
particularly useful when applications is installed from both sources.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install a software from both distribution and Flatpak
2. Search for this software in the KDE menu OR
2. From Dolphin, right click on a file and choose "Open with…" OR
2. From Thunderbird, click on an attachment, select "Open with" and click on
"Other"

OBSERVED RESULT
Software is present two times, without any clear indication of which one is
installed via Flatpak. When wanting to use a specific version, this means the
user has no choice other than trial and error.

EXPECTED RESULT
There should be a clear indication about which software has been installed via
Flatpak and which has been installed from distribution repositories. Using
LibreOffice as an example, it could be written "LibreOffice" and "LibreOffice
(Flatpak)", has it is partially the case when using Cinnamon.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Debian Bookworm (current testing), Plasma 5.25.4
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version:  5.25.4

Yvan
