Bug ID: 421364
Summary: App launched via a desktop icon opens its own desktop
file
Product: dolphin
Version: 20.04.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: tagwer...@innerjoin.org
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY:
If click on an application shortcut created on the desktop it appears that
the application is opened with the name of the whatever.desktop file as an
argument.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
Create a desktop shortcut (for example by right clicking on the application
in the launch menu and selecting 'Add to Desktop')
For Dolphin, this creates a "org.kde.dolphin.desktop" file in the Desktop
folder
Click on the newly created icon.
OBSERVED RESULTS:
Dolphin opens in a
Desktop/org.kde.dolphin.desktop/
"folder" and prompts "What do you want to do with this executable file"
EXPECTED RESULTS:
Dolphin opens in the Home folder.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:
Dolphin 20.04.0
from Neon Testing
KDE Plasma 5.18.5
KDE Frameworks 5.71.0
Qt 5.14.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:
Probably not a Dolphin bug, not sure where to file it though; as per
discussion under Bug 421329, launching Kate via its icon on desktop, opens its
own .desktop file
This behaviour has changed since Neon (Plasma 5.18.4, Framework 5.69.0, QT
5.14.1)
