Bug ID: 487927
Summary: Launcher creation adds single quotes to application,
preventing ~ expansion.
Classification: Plasma
Product: krunner
Version: 6.0.5
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: lst_man...@webengineer.com
CC: alexander.loh...@gmx.de, natalie_clar...@yahoo.de
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Not sure when this started as I have a mix of desktop objects that have the
application bracketed with single quotes in the .desktop file, and some that
don't. When I create a launcher now, however, single quotes are always added
in the .desktop file.
However, I don't believe ading single quotes to the application string is the
bug. At least one of the .desktip objects that have single quotes around the
application and they worked fine before the upgrade to plasma 6.
If I create a launcher using the "browse" button to find and enter the
application, the launcher works as expected. So I believe the issue is that
with quotes around the application, shell expansion on the '~" character
doesn't happen, and so the launcher cannot find the application/script it is
supposed to run. Indeed, that is the error notification I see when attempting
to use a "bad" launcher.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create launcher entering ~/bin/script_name to the application field.
2. Click on launcher
OBSERVED RESULT
Intended script does not run and a "could not find the program" error
notification pops up.
EXPECTED RESULT
~/bin/srcipt_name should run.
