Hi, I was under the impression that GNOME Software 3.22 will be able to install .flatpak bundles. You download a 3rd-party .flatpak bundle, double-click the file and Software does the magic for you (installs necessary runtime, install the app, sets up app's repo,...), but I tried it on my upgraded system to F25 and Software doesn't seem to handle .flatpak files at all. I still need to do the inconvenient procedure of several commands to install a flatpak.
Was it never a plan to install flatpaks in Software this way and I got it wrong or it didn't make it to the release for some reason? If we need to improve something it's user experience of installing flatpaks which is currently pretty terrible and people point it out all the time.

You probably need an unreleased version of shared-mime-info.
I guess that's on my plate now.
Cheers
