Describe the bug

SUMMARY

I added a new location to install flatpaks and through Discover I see "From:Flathub" appear twice as installation options. One points to the custom-installation and the other the system however there is no way to know which is which.

In /etc/flatpak/installations.d I created games.conf which has this
[Installation "games"]
Path=/mnt/linux_data/Games/flatpak
DisplayName=Game Installations
StorageType=harddisk

Then I executed :

sudo flatpak --installation=games remote-add games ``https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

and finally :

sudo flatpak --installation=games install games info.beyondallreason.bar

The installation went well and in the right folder however I noticed this from “Discover”

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

  1. In /etc/flatpak/installations.d I created games.conf containing the following
    [Installation "extra"]
    Path=/mnt/linux_data/flatpaks
    DisplayName=Extra Installations
    StorageType=harddisk

  2. sudo flatpak --installation=games remote-add extra ``https://flathub.org/repo/flathub.flatpakrepo

  3. I then open Discover and I see this two from options, Flathub and Flathub, one pointing to the new mount point and the other to the default (the system). There is no way to know which is which until we try to install.

OBSERVED RESULT

There is no way for me the select where to install the flatpak

EXPECTED RESULT

I should have an option to tell me where to install the flatpak.
