[Bug 860536] Re: Please integrate with software-center to search for new apps

 

This is a nice example: http://design.canonical.com/2011/11/getting-in-
touch-with-us/

They offer us to join #ubuntu-design
When you clic on it a pop-up appears to ask you what application you would like to choose.
If I would like to choose an other application it directs me to my home-folder .... It should open a list of applications instead.

Title:
  Please integrate with software-center to search for new apps

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The current "right-click/open with/other application/find applications" could be improved by just offering
  to launch software-center with "--search mime:text/html" (or whatever mime-type).

  It should probably also a bit less nested ;) Like: "open-with/Find
  available applications" or even a top-level item for this in the
  context-menu. I leave the exact location to the designers. This would
  offer all the benefits of s-c like screenshots, reviews etc.
