Fleet Desktop: Show file

Show File Path in Fleet Desktop

I want the fleet desktop application to display the file path of installed software. This is only visible in the Fleet UI and it would be particularly be useful for installed vulnerable packages.

What have you tried?

I can see the list of vulnerable software but is not possible for end users to see the file path where the application is installed.

Potential solutions

The Fleet desktop should show an additional column with "File Path" next the the application list. Alternatively, there could be button that 'Show details' which displays the file path.

What is the expected workflow as a result of your proposal?

File paths are displayed for all installed applications. Similar to what is available from the Fleet UI.

Chatting in osquery slack --

We have a lot of developers who take their security quite seriously. We are mostly a MacOS shop. We have just started deploying fleet to a small set of users, and we (security) have got a lot of questions of where some of the packages are installed, as they try to fix the vulnerabilities shown in fleet desktop.

For example, fleet desktop just shows 'Package (Homebrew)' but this itself is not enough information for them to go and update the packages, as there could be custom installations paths, etc
