Created attachment 198092 [details] Screenshot: how LibreOffice shows up in the system monitor's processes list on Linux 1. Open any LibreOffice application 2. Open gnome-system-monitor and try to find it in the Processes list Actual Result: It is only listed as "soffice.bin" (and "oosplash", even though the app has been launched and presumably doesn't need a splashcreen process to remain?), with no app icon. Additionally, if you are running the flatpak version, you will see the accompanying "bwrap" processes. Expected result: - Ideally, a per-app process name and icon (ex: LibreOffice-Calc with its icon) - Otherwise, a global suite process name (ex: libreoffice, with the general icon) Most other apps manage to do this, so presumably LibreOffice can, too. ------------- Tested with: Version: 24.8.3.2 (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 48a6bac9e7e268aeb4c3483fcf825c94556d9f92 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.11; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); UI: en-US Flatpak Calc: threaded
No imperative to do this, and as LibreOffice is a monolithic app each of the "modules" run as some instance of soffice.bin. Nothing to be gained by wrapping that into some other string. -1
Please share a screenshot with other user space software in gnome-system-monitor, like Firefox, text editor, PDF viewer, etc.
Created attachment 198118 [details] Screenshot - among other applications Thank you for your willingness to entertain the idea. As requested, here is a screenshot showing other applications identifying themselves nicely, and setting their icon. Note that among those, only 3 of thome are flatpaks, the rest are system-installed native packages. As you can see, it's not a flatpak-specific thing, and it's been possible since time immemorial.
We can't change the process name but about icon for it we can think I hope
Kind of similar question in bug 164311. And aren't there worse applications listed among the processes?
