Below my ~/.profile.
-------------------------------
# Append our default paths
#append_path '~/usr/bin'
#append_path '~/usr/tools/Root_Actions'
#append_path '~/usr/tools/PDF'
# Force PATH to be environment
#export PATH
#export PATH="$PATH:$(du -L ~/usr/bin/ | cut -f2 | tr '\n' ':' | sed
's/:*$//')"
export PATH="$PATH:/home/andrea/usr/tools/Root_Actions
-------------------------------------
Help me to use the correct way.
P.S.
The commented line before the last one is what I have in .bashrc where
work properly, but just for the shell.

FTR, can you post what exactly have you written in your ~/.profile file?

Yes... a full Path for the exec in the .desktop works, but too

Anyway now I'd like to see clear thought this issue....

Though, can't you just write a full path inside your .desktop file?

Is wayland, Dolphin or what the issue?!?

So, it's, interesting: actually, I just realized that both
/etc/environment and /etc/profile as well as ~/.profile are all
read by shells. I never thought about that.
So, if you modified your ~/.profile file, I would presume it
should work (I never tried though, just judging by what I just
read on the topic), however I think you need to restart DE (that
is, log out and log back in) for these changes to start working.
That is because your DE would need to get launched with these env.
variables, and then it would launch ".desktop" file apps using the
environment it got.

What's a correct syntax?

Right, because `.bashrc` is only read by bash. When you launch
an app from a desktop file, there's no bash involved (unless of
course the Exec= call inside .desktop file calls bash explicitly).
Use `/etc/profile` file instead, the $PATH is usually set there.
