We see the multiple commands but there's no way to differentiate between
them. At the moment we're just launching the first command in the list.
I think as a first step the order should be as the developer intended,
so picking the first one is an appropriate default.
If we want to support launching multiple applications from a snap, then we
probably need more metadata. For example we probably need:
- Some sort of description for each app
- We need to know if some apps are graphical and some are not (we're looking at
the slots the snap requests to use this).
We also need to work out how to expose this in GNOME Software, either
multiple launch buttons per snap or break the snap into multiple
entries.
** Summary changed:
- When launching a snap from Ubuntu Software, it runs the first command
alphabetically
+ GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap
** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided => Medium
** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Triaged

Title:
GNOME Software only supports running one application from a snap
Status in Snappy:
New
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
HOW TO REPRODUCE:
1. Install LibreOffice snap ('nonfree' tag) from Ubuntu Software.
2. Click on the 'Launch' button once you have it installed.
WHAT IS EXPECTED:
It should launch the LibreOffice wizard instead of any of Writer, Calc, etc.
WHAT ACTUALLY HAPPENS:
It launches LibreOffice Database.
WHY THIS HAPPENS?
Ubuntu Software probably picks the first listed command
(libreoffice.base), as shown in
$ snap info libreoffice
name: libreoffice
summary: "LibreOffice is a powerful office suite including word processing
and creation of spreadsheets, slideshows and databases"
publisher: canonical
description: |
LibreOffice is a powerful office suite – its clean interface and
feature-rich tools help you unleash your creativity and enhance your

The order in snapcraft.yaml is different, so probably Snapcraft is changing
the order (it might assume that 'libreoffice' is 'libreoffice.libreoffice', so
it puts it further down.
