Hi Rob can you clarify what's happening here? When I do this (Files 3.26 on Ubuntu 17.10) it opens the webpage in Text Editor (rather than the launcher), is that the bug you're reporting and can you reproduce it on Ubuntu 17.10 or 18.04? :) Marking Incomplete for now (please change to New if you're able to reproduce on 14.04, 16.04, 17.10 or 18.04 and can clarify the process of reproducing the bug here!) :)

For example: [Desktop Entry] Encoding=UTF-8 Name=Calendar Type=Link URL=https://calendar.google.com/calendar/render?tab=mc#main_7 Icon=/home/rob/user1/Graphics/calendar.png This happens in both budgie and gnome shell on 17.04. If you change the file name from calendar.desktop to calendar.txt it works correctly. Secondly, if you look at the permissions for this type of launcher, you get the message "The permissions of "ServiceLogin" could not be determined."
