upstream files required files for FlatHub

[xarbit]

These files should ideally be located upstream, it would be great to add them to the other resources.

Hi @xarbit!

Many thanks for the Flatpak integration effort! Not too many commits ago I've placed a desktop file very similar to yours into src/platform/unix directory, please let us know if that suffices your needs.

There you should also find a desktop file for our GCode viewer application. That is essentially the prusa-slicer binary started up with the --gcodeviewer parameter and behaving like a completely different app. I don't know if Flatpaks support this kind of "one Flatpak -> multiple apps" behavior. AppImages certainly don't. BTW the icon for the GCode viewer is on the way, but missing from the repo yet.

As for the com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer.metainfo.xml file, I have a feeling that it almost completely concerns the Flatpak creation thus it would belong to the repo where the Flatpak creation is encoded. I'm really not familiar with packaging Flatpaks so let me know if I got this wrong.

Hi @tamasmeszaros thanks for this, ill look in to the desktop file and give you feedback.
As for the com.prusa3d.PrusaSlicer.metainfo.xml file, FlatHub and FlatPak like this upstream and it is the AppStream data used in Linux App Stores such as GNOME Software and Co.

I think flatpack supports --gcodeviewer , ill check in to that .. thanks

Ok, I'll put it into master then. If I may, I would put it into a subdir like resources/data/flatpak so I will know what it is after a year passes by :v Would that be ok?

[xarbit]

sure that works .. thanks :-)

So, I've discovered that the icon entry is different in your desktop file so I've put that into the flatpak subfolder as well. Please let me know how I could unite this desktop file with the one already in src/platform/unix if you have any idea. Thanks in advance.

@tamasmeszaros

by the way, I finally got around to implement --gcodeviewer in flatpak .. as desktop launcher and desktop action.
