This is used by Software Centers and packaging systems that make use of the AppStream specification. It adds distribution independent metadata for the project. Screenshots are not supplied due to the extra work needed to make new ones that comply with the AppStream recommendations. Specifically the difficulty lies in only showing the window, yet maintaining an aspect ratio of 16:9. Not sure how this is best solved. Likely the only solution is to something similar to the current screenshot.jpg, minus the background and no padding. This appdata file validates using `appstream-util validate-relax`. Should fix Manuel-Kehl#121
The description might also need some improvements. Currently it is based on the description on the original homepage and the README. But at least now you have the fundamentals. |
Thanks for the pr! I am aware that the current screenshot on this repo, I'll make one without background soon. |
Some more tips for the screenshots:

Very nice. A minor thing worth noting is that
However this only affects that implementation of the specification. Meanwhile Anyhow, under the strictest validation tests, that is now the only warning. There is no requirement to pass this and since it would in this case be difficult to otherwise get a 16:9 aspect ratio, it can probably be ignored. |
Oh there was actually one other warning that you managed to add.

That is now fixed: f02cb79 |
