[systemsettings] [Bug 414020] Allow overriding a program's command by automatically creating a user-owned copy of the desktop file
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414020 Szczepan Hołyszewski changed: What|Removed |Added Resolution|WAITINGFORINFO |--- Status|NEEDSINFO |REPORTED --- Comment #3 from Szczepan Hołyszewski --- At this time I have a copy of the .desktop file in autostart, and I can freely modify the command using systemsettings autostart page. I may have simply copied it there in the meantime. But I distinctly remember that the file was originally a symlink to /usr/share/applications/slack.desktop, which is probably how Slack installs it when you configure autostart in Slack's options. And in THAT case the behavior was wrong. Systemsettings was unable to detect the "this file is a symlink to a file I don't own" condition. It should be able to do so, and create a "copy-on-write" of the unwritable file, replacing the symlink. The whole operation should be entirely transparent to the user who may not be a symlink-savvy technical person. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

Can you verify the permissions of ~/.config/autostart/slack.desktop Does that file exist and is it writable by your user? And are you running System Settings as your own user? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.

https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=414020 --- Comment #1 from Szczepan Hołyszewski --- To clarify the first sentence: I want the creation of user-owned copy to be performed automatically by systemsettings. It is of course possible to do that manually, but it shouldn't be necessary. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
