Bug ID: 497409
Summary: Application Editor Seems to Save .desktop files in a
Wrong Location
Classification: Applications
Product: kmenuedit
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: peter...@disroot.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
If one edits a .desktop file, it could be saved in a wrong location due to
slashes in file path replaced with dashes, so that Kickoff still looks at the
original version, effectively ignoring all changes made.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open .desktop file editing dialogue (In my case, it is Rome: Total war,
installed with wine, path to the desktop file
~/.local/share/applications/wine/Programs/Total War/Rome - Total War/Rome -
Total War.desktop )
2. Make some changes (I have added gamescope invocation)
3. Save the file
OBSERVED RESULT
Kickoff ignores all changes, and if one opens the .desktop file editing
dialogue again, it will show the original version.
Also, there is a new .desktop file (In my case,
~/.local/share/applications/wine-Programs-Total War-Rome - Total War-Rome -
Total War.desktop) which contains all the changes.
EXPECTED RESULT
The dialogue writes changes to the old file, so Kickoff picks the changes and I
can play my game with gamescope
