Menu Editor doesn't delete *.desktop files from ./local/share/applications
folder on deletion of entry from menu
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create new entry with Menu Editor and save changes.
2. Delete that entry and save changes.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
*.desktop file created with Menu Editor still in ./local/share/applications
folder. This can lead to UI issues with applications installed by system. For
example with Firefox. When it's installed by hands from archive and menu entry
created with Menu Editor all works fine. But after deletion of Firefox and
installing it with apt user has ugly experience with icons in Task Manager as
*.desktop file still there, even with deleted entry with Menu Editor.
EXPECTED RESULT
*.desktop file should be deleted with menu entry by Menu Editor, to prevent
such UI issues.
