Bug ID: 416105 Summary: Uncategorized apps usually don't show up in the menu editor Product: kmenuedit Version: 5.17.5 Platform: Ubuntu Packages OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: general Assignee: unassigned-b...@kde.org Reporter: leftcr...@tutanota.com Target Milestone: --- All apps from the relevant appear in the main menu/krunner (usually) but if the .desktop file lacks the Category descriptor, it won't show up in the menu editor. Supposedly, you can find these uncategorized apps in "Lost and Found" but in my experience, they usually aren't there. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a desktop file: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=OpenAudible Exec=/bin/sh "/opt/OpenAudible/OpenAudible" %U StartupWMClass=install4j-org-openaudible-desktop-Application Icon=/opt/OpenAudible/.install4j/OpenAudible.png 2. Put it into ~/.local/share/applications 3. Run kbuildsycoca5 4. Check Kmenuedit for this program. OBSERVED RESULT Desktop link isn't shown anywhere in Kmenuedit. (I actually observed this problem first after installing this program, which put the .desktop file a system folder. It also didn't show up in the menu editor.) EXPECTED RESULT Desktop links should always be shown in Kmenuedit. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
