Maybe we could add a special case for GIMP given its' prominence in the FOSS community, I dunno. But then detecting GIMP itself is even problematic given how its name is not standardized across distros (e.g. "GIMP", "GNU Image Manipulation Program", "GIMP Image Manipulation Program" etc). Even its AppStream ID is not yet standardized across distros. :( Bottom line, I think it's too much of a can of worms for us to rely on, sorry. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
