  • I have searched the issue tracker for a feature request that matches the one I want to file, without success.

Suggestion

When you have multiple versions of the same application ID installed, flatpak will ask you:

$ flatpak list
Name  Application ID   Version	Branch	Origin    	Installation
App   com.generic.app  7.0.0  	stable	flathub   	system
App   com.generic.app  7.0.0  	test  	app-origin	system
$ flatpak uninstall --delete-data com.generic.app
Similar installed refs found for 'com.generic.app':

   1) app/com.generic.app/x86_64/stable (system)
   2) app/com.generic.app/x86_64/test (system)
   3) All of the above

Which do you want to use (0 to abort)? [0-3]:

I suggest that this terminology, "which do you want to use" is rather ambiguous. I thought this meant, "which do you want to keep" (however, this contradicted the "all of the above" option).

I would suggest changing the prompt to something along the lines of Which do you want to uninstall (0 to abort)? [0-3]:, for much more clarity about what the prompt is asking.
