Bug ID: 473448 Summary: Information preview for Desktop Entry files (.desktop) could be much better Classification: Applications Product: dolphin Version: 23.07.90 Platform: Other OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: panels: information Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: o...@geek.co.il CC: kfm-de...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- SUMMARY With the Information panel open, selecting a .desktop file (FreeDesktop.org Desktop Entry), the information panel appears to try to extract some information from the file itself - specifically, it shows the "Comment" field's value as the "Type" field in the information panel, if the "Comment" field exists - otherwise it just says "desktop entry". Looking at some .desktop files in my ~/.local/share/applications, Steam games are shown with "Type: Play this game on Steam" while the Firefox's snap desktop entry says "Type: Browse the World Wide Web". This is less than useful... SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: KDE neon 5.27 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.7 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.109.0 Qt Version: 5.15.10 Kernel Version: 6.2.0-27-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: offscreen Processors: 20 × 12th Gen Intel® Core™ i7-12700H Memory: 31.0 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® Graphics ADDITIONAL INFORMATION I believe it is obvious that a better value for the information panel's "Type" field would be the Desktop Entry "Type" field (if exists - otherwise the text "desktop entry" is probably a good enough value), but it would also be super useful to expose the "Name" field and possibly the "Comment" field in a way that shows that its the comment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
