--- Comment #23 from Rodrigo Pedra Brum <rodrigo.pe...@gmail.com> ---
As Plasma 5.27 is the last release of the Plasma 5 series, can't we revert to
the old application selector?

As others already have said, I often used this feature to test custom binaries,
and I don't think adding a custom `.desktop` file for each binary is a feasible
solution.

Sometimes I just want to process a CSV, or TSV, with a custom binary, and doing
it from the interface, with its embed history, specially when I am doing some
repeated work is very handy.

I truly believe all advancements are proposed and coded with the best
intentions and having a regular user in mind. But I can't recall any complaint
of how this specific feature works. Never saw any mentions in KDE's reddit or
anywhere else. But of course, you as maintainers know better.

If I could choose, I'd say to keep both for a while and do some A/B testing, or
asking for user feedback. But I know resources and time is limited.

Just please consider not limiting it to `.desktop` file. This would be very
limiting to mine, and -- as it seems from some comments -- others workflow.
Having this as a hard requirement for replacing this component is very
frustrating.

Is this a feature that could be maintained by volunteers and be replaced
desktop-wise for those who prefer the older component?

Thanks in advance.
