[Bug 839257] Re: Application lens launches previous Software Center UI

[Gary Lasker]

Indeed, I agree completely. We'll make the fix in Software Center then
to launch the new default UI as "software-center". The way to do this is
exactly as described by mpt in comment 2.

Thanks all for weighing in!

Title:
  Application lens launches previous Software Center UI

Status in Unity Applications Lens:
  New
Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I discovered that when launching Software Center via the Unity App
  Lens (Dash->More Apps->Apps Available For Download), it launches the
  previous Software Center UI. This previous version is launched as
  'software-center'. We recently updated to a new gtk3-based UI as the
  default for Software Center and it is now launched as 'software-
  center-gtk3'.

  Hmm, it is certainly arguable that it may be better to fix this in
  software-center itself (by simply also launching the new UI as
  'software-center'), rather than changing this in unity-application-
  lens since there may be other places where this problem is lurking.
  Any thoughts?
