[plasmashell] [Bug 450728] New: After editing application, second time one opens properties, it still shows older desktop entry
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450728 Bug ID: 450728 Summary: After editing application, second time one opens properties, it still shows older desktop entry Product: plasmashell Version: master Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Application Menu (Kicker) Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org Reporter: c...@nic11.xyz Target Milestone: 1.0 SUMMARY After editing application, second time one opens properties, it still shows older desktop entry STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open Application Launcher 2. Right click any application (e.g., Dolphin) and choose 'Edit Application' 3. Change something there and click 'OK' OBSERVED RESULT Changed `org.kde.dolphin.desktop` appears in `~/.local/share/applications/`, but if you try to redo steps 1 and 2, you'll still see `/usr/share/applications` in 'Location' without your changes. After plasmashell restart, it picks up the edit desktop entry from user's directory. EXPECTED RESULT After repeating steps 1 and 2, you immediately see `/home//.local/share/applications` in 'Location' and something that you've changed.

[kmenuedit] [Bug 394476] Can't edit applications that are installed through flatpak
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394476 Roman Nikonov changed: What|Removed |Added CC||c...@nic11.xyz --- Comment #6 from Roman Nikonov --- (In reply to Patrick Silva from comment #4) > I can reproduce this bug even with some non-flatpak apps. > Discord from Arch repos, for example. The bug is similar, but, according to the screenshot by Patrick Silva, the source of the problem is different. With Flatpak (current issue), there's already a file at `~/.local/share/applications/whatever.desktop`. The Discord case is a bit different. It has a symlink in system-wide directory instead: $ ls -lh /usr/share/applications/discord.desktop lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 28 фев 18 13:34 /usr/share/applications/discord.desktop -> /opt/discord/discord.desktop I've created a separate bug for this: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450727 I'll also attach a merge request that potentially fixes this issue there. P.S. Sorry if I don't understand some concepts of Flatpaks correctly, as I don't actually use them. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
[frameworks-kio] [Bug 450727] New: Can't edit an application's desktop entry which is a symlink
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=450727 Bug ID: 450727 Summary: Can't edit an application's desktop entry which is a symlink Product: frameworks-kio Version: git master Platform: Manjaro OS: Linux Status: REPORTED Severity: normal Priority: NOR Component: Properties dialog Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org Reporter: c...@nic11.xyz CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org Target Milestone: --- Created attachment 147067 --> https://bugs.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=147067=edit Error when trying to change Discord's desktop entry SUMMARY If user tries to edit a desktop entry in /usr/share/applications that is a symlink to some file without write access, this results in an error. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Install a package that contains a symlink from /usr/share/applications. For example, Discord package on Arch/Manjaro: `pacman -S discord` 2. Open Application Launcher 3. Right-click on an app installed on step 1, select 'Edit application' 4. Change something and click 'Save' OBSERVED RESULT Error: Could not save properties due to insufficient write access to: ‘/home/roma/.local/share/applications/discord.desktop’. ~/.local/share/applications/discord.desktop is a symlink to /opt/discord/discord.desktop. EXPECTED RESULT ~/.local/share/applications/discord.desktop is successfully saved and is an arbitrary file owned by the current user. SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux distro: Manjaro stable KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5, master KDE Frameworks Version: 5.90.0, master Qt Version: 5.15.2 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Similar bug: https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=394476 But it needs to be resolved separately IMO, since it involves editing a file that's already in `~/.local/share/applications/` but is unwriteable for the current user. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
