I think the old (and imho correct) behaviour was indeed to just call that binary with the path of the file as the first and only argument, yes. > What I don't get btw, why do you have applications that don't have a desktop > file?

A whole fun mixture of "binaries you downloaded" via "binaries you compiled yourself" to "scripts you wrote" etc. pp. In an ideal world every app would have a corresponding .desktop file, yes. But we do not live in this ideal world and, more importantly, we as KDE can't enforce / control it. So to not put users in front of a very-hard-to-resolve problem (writing their own .desktop file, and I know this can technically be done through means such as menu editor, but: they don't) we can just give them a manual override. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
