Bug ID: 493050
Summary: Desktop shortcuts do not show emblem link when created
directly
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 6.1.4
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: Folder
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: epictux...@proton.me
CC: h...@kde.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
Steam, the gaming application, has an option to create desktop shortcuts when
installing games.
As far as I know, what it does is create a ".desktop" file in
"~/.local/share/applications", and then also create the same ".desktop" file in
"~/Desktop".
However, with this method, the "emblem-symbolic-link.svg" icon, which is used
to indicate shortcuts, is not shown. To workaround this, I have to delete the
".desktop" file in "~/Desktop", then open the application launcher (start menu)
and search for the app name, then right-click and "Add to Desktop". This way,
it will show the arrow shortcut icon/emblem.
I even understand that, logically speaking, what Steam creates is not actually
a symbolic link, but in Microsoft Windows there is the presence of the shortcut
arrow when creating an icon in this way, since the shortcut only tells the
program, Steam, to execute a command (steam://rungameid/), instead of being a
direct executable.
