Bug ID: 369320
Summary: Changes not saved when editing .desktop files
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.7.5
Platform: Archlinux Packages
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: k...@davidedmundson.co.uk
Reporter: alarie...@gmail.com
CC: bhus...@gmail.com, plasma-b...@kde.org
Any changes (including Name, Description, Comment etc.) on "Application" tab in
.desktop file "Properties" window is not saved, the same goes for Icon Selector
on "General" tab.
Changing Name field on "General" tab works fine.
Original .desktop file remains intact, however copy of it with cut off name
appears in "~/.local/share/applications/".
Name got cut off on what seems to be a random number of characters, but it also
never contains spaces (e.g. "Link to Application.desktop becomes
"plication.desktop", "cation.desktop", but never "ink to Application.desktop").
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Create sample "Link to Application.desktop"
2. Right-click on it and choose "Properties"
3. Go to "Application" tab
4. Try to change any field
5. Click "OK" to save changes
Actual Results:
None of the changes to the original file are saved
Copy of it with cut off name appears in "~/.local/share/applications/"
Expected Results:
Save changes to the original file
