Bug ID: 498404
Summary: Plasma doesn't update applications list properly
Classification: Plasma
Product: xdg-desktop-portal-kde
Version: 6.2.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: major
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: vse.stopchans...@gmail.com
CC: aleix...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Sometimes if I add a .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications/ they don't
show up in app launcher or in the "Open with" menu.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Add or edit a proper .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications
2. Try to find it in application launcher or "Open with" menu
3. If it's there, repeat
OBSERVED RESULT
The entry for the .desktop file is missing or not updated. It updated for me
one time when I initially added RML.desktop, but then no files I added to the
applications folder showed up in the app launcher or "Open with" menu.
EXPECTED RESULT
The entry for the .desktop file should be added to applications after it's
added in the applications folder. Changes applied to the file should also apply
in "Open with" and applications menu
