Bug ID: 502603
Summary: Creating new application entries does not honor XDG
configuration if the configured XDG directory does not
exist.
Classification: Applications
Product: kmenuedit
Version: 6.3.4
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: sorucoder+kdebugtrac...@proton.me
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I configured my `$XDG_DATA_HOME` to `$HOME/.data` instead of the default
`$HOME/.local/share`. Because the `applications` directory did not exist, the
menu editor creates it at `$HOME/.local/share/applications`, instead of
`$HOME/.data/applications`. Creating it did seem to fix the issue.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Set `XDG_DATA_HOME` to a different directory.
2. Use the KDE Menu Editor to create new desktop entries.
OBSERVED RESULT
Creates a new directory at `$HOME/.local/share/applications` if
`$XDG_DATA_HOME/applications` does not exist, and places new desktop entries
there.
EXPECTED RESULT
Should create the directory at `$XDG_DATA_HOME/applications` and place the new
desktop entries there.
