Feature request: Enhancements to flathub package installation and display

[arkdae]

I think a few enhancements would go a long way to making installing software from Flathub a more pleasant and efficient experience.

First, I see when browsing the Flathub website directly, that packages have a summary. I think this summary should be displayed, not just the icon and program name. Most software I have no idea what it is from the name. This means that I have to click on each program in turn to see if it is something I want to install. And this process is quite slow (I'm running ChimeraOS on an Udoo Bolt).

Secondly, once all packages have descriptions, a multi-select and install feature would be great. That way we don't have to click on each package, click install, click back (which, while installing often doesn't go back, and you end up having to go back two pages before you can get back to the list of all Flathub packages), then select the next package.

Instead, you click a checkbox or other, for each package you want to install, and then on that same page is a button, "install selected."

Third, it would be easier to find packages if you know their name, if the list of packages were displayed alphabetically. As it is, the list seems totally arbitrary, and often as I'm clicking back and forth between each individual package and the list, the items in the list shift around, presumably because there is a different set coming from Flathub.

Maybe also being able to browse by category would be useful, but I think the above features are more important.

Finally, when you go back to Steam, the Flathub-installed software that shows up there has icons, which is a lot nicer looking than on the SteamDeck, but unfortunately most programs' icons do not include the name of the program, whereas Steam games all do. It would be nice if these icons could have a name added to the icon (maybe programmatically using Image Magick, for example), so that we can know what game it is before we select it.
