Bug ID: 444628
Summary: [wayland] "Edit Application" Command edits require
logout/reboot to take effect
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.23.2
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Application Menu (Kicker)
Assignee: h...@kde.org
Reporter: indecisiveautoma...@gmail.com
CC: plasma-b...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
SUMMARY
Editing the "Command" for an application requires a reboot to take effect. This
happens when using both the "Edit Applications..." option for something like
the Application Dashboard (brings up a window called "KDE Menu Editor"), or
when editing the properties with the "Edit Application" option within something
like the Application Dashboard.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Right click on Application Dashboard/Launcher/Menu icon
2. Select "Edit Applications..."
3. Motify the command of a desired application and save your changes
4. Launch application, it will not reflect your changes (e.g., adding a flag
for Electron apps to use Ozone) until you log out or reboot
Similar steps apply for modifying an application's properties, e.g. the window
that says "Properties for Steam.desktop - Plasma".
OBSERVED RESULT
The modified command does not register until logout/reboot.
EXPECTED RESULT
The modified command registers immediately after saving.
