Custom flatpak installation [through Warehouse] messed up my previous installation [through Bazaar]
So I've been using MPC-QT from Flathub, which I installed through Bazaar. It is the stable branch. (https://flathub.org/apps/io.github.mpc_qt.mpc-qt)
However, to get a specific feature I had to switch to the developmental branch of MPC-QT, for which there is no entry on Flathub / Bazaar, only a flatpak file on Github. (https://github.com/mpc-qt/dev-builds/releases/download/continuous/mpc-qt-continuous-linux-x86_64.flatpak)
So, I uninstalled MPC-QT on Bazaar, downloaded the flatpak file and thought, maybe I can manually add that to Bazaar, but Bazaar doesn't seem to have that functionality (yet?).
So, I double-clicked it, thinking bazzite would know what to do with it, and sure enough it was picked up by the app Warehouse, and it installed the flatpak.
Now the issues:
MPC-QT is not listed in the list of installed apps on Bazaar (possibly not supposed to)
MPC-QT is missing a new entry in the Start Menu. There is my old entry, but when I click it the app does not launch.
MPC-QT is listed in the app selection window, but when I try to open a specific file with MPC-QT, the app won't launch.
Now, the old Start Menu entry possibly won't work because of specific launch argument for flatpak that are different for the developmental app:
Warehouse did not overwrite these old entries or did not create new ones.
The Bazaar version was installed in
Warehouse version is installed in
I can launch MPC-QT from its entry in Warehouse, so I know it has been installed.
