Bug ID: 497714
Summary: Modifying the "Environment variables" section of an
application is not retained
Classification: Plasma
Product: kdeplasma-addons
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: openSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Quicklaunch
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: crigu...@gmail.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
**NOTE THAT I SELECTED "QUICKLAUNCH" AS COMPONENT AS I HAD TO SELECT ONE AND
THE CORRECT ONE (APPLICATION DASHBOARD) WAS NOT PRESENT.**
If I edit an application in the Application Dashboard to add an environment
variable, when I re-open the settings for that application the environment
variable is gone.
Note that the .desktop file on disk is correctly updated, but the Application
Dashboard does not show it.
Also, when launching the application from the Application Dashboard it behaves
as if the environment variable is not set.
If I use kmenuedit to update the application (instead of directly editing it in
the Application Dashboard) the behavior is the same.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Application Dashboard
2. Right click on a launcher and choose "Edit application..."
3. In the properties for the application, click on the "Application" tab
4. Enter an environment variable in the "Environment Variables:" entry field
5. Click the OK button
6. Go through steps 1..3 again and verify the absence of the environment
variable you just set
OBSERVED RESULT
The environment variable is not visible in the application properties.
The environment variable is saved in the .desktop file on disk.
Launching the application from Application Dashboard, it behaves as if no
environment variable was set.
EXPECTED RESULT
The environment variable is visible in the application properties.
The environment variable is saved in the .desktop file on disk.
Launching the application from Application Dashboard, behaves correctly based
on the environment variable that was set.
