Summary0012708: GNOME/KDE: Please install the supplied AppData file
DescriptionPlease consider installing this AppData file: https://raw.githubusercontent.com/hughsie/fedora-appstream/master/appdata-extra/desktop/scribus.appdata.xml

This is used in GNOME and KDE software installers to add the application description and some screenshots. We'd love to showcase more applications, but without the extra data file we can't. The AppData file needs to be installed to /usr/share/appdata/ on Linux and the basename needs to match the .desktop basename. It would also be great if you could integrate the file with your translation system (e.g. intltool) to make the descriptions translated.

See http://people.freedesktop.org/~hughsient/appdata/ for more details; thanks!

hi richard,

could you consider making a patch for it?

it it's as little invasive as i think it will be, i don't see a reason for it to be refused.

ciao

 This seems like it would be important for GNOME/KDE folks to get more exposure to Scribus. Added to 1.4.6svn since that may be the last 1.4.x version.

2 tasks are suggested by OP:
* Add the xml
* make sure that we implement it so it will get translated

Can anyone make screenshots of Scribus 1.5.1 for GNOME/KDE and post them here so I can create this appdata file? Thanks
