Bug ID: 514577
Summary: Localized Name, GenericName and Comment discrepancy
between read locale and written locale
Classification: Applications
Product: kmenuedit
Version First 6.5.4
Reported In:
Platform: Debian testing
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Localized field discrepancy: the localized field that is read from the .desktop
file (in my case, Name[fr_FR]) when opening kmenuedit is not the field that is
subsequently written when clicking on "Save". kmenuedit writes the generic Name
field instead.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. In kmenuedit GUI's settings menu, set the language to French (fr).
2. In Plasma's launcher, pick an application and open its .desktop file in a
text editor.
3. Set `Name=generic_name` and `Name[fr_FR]=french_name`
4. In Plasma's launcher menu, right-click on the app's icon and select "Edit
the application"
5. The name field shows "french_name". Modify it to "new_name" and save.
6. Open the .desktop file in the text editor.
7. In Plasma's launcher menu, right-click on the app's icon and select "Edit
the application"
OBSERVED RESULT
In the file editor, there is `Name=new_name` and `Name[fr_FR]=french_name`.
In a Plasma desktop environment set to French, Plasma's launcher will still
show 'french_name' under the icon, and right-clicking on the icon to open
kmenuedit will still show the former, supposedly modified, value "french_name".
Changing the app's name resulted in no visible change.
EXPECTED RESULT
The field of the .desktop file to which the value of the Name field is written
is the same as the one from which the value was read to populate the GUIs
(kmenuedit's GUI and Plasma's launcher menu, provided both are set to the same
language).
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Kali Linux (up-to-date) (System locale: fr_FR)
KDE Plasma Version: 6.5.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 6.20.0
Qt Version: 6.9.2
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Same issue with GenericName and Comment.
Since kmenuedit's language settings displays "French(fr)" whereas the field in
my .desktop file was "Name[fr_FR]", I thought the discrepancy might come from
there and I modified my .desktop file so that the field be named "Name[fr]".
Then, when saving new values from kmenuedit, kmenuedit updates the .desktop
file with:
- `Name`, `GenericName` and `Comment` fields updated with the values set in the
GUI;
- fields `Name[fr]`, `GenericName[fr]` and `Comment[fr]` renamed to
respectively `Name[fr_FR]`, `GenericName[fr_FR]` and `Comment[fr_FR]` (but
their values remain untouched).
