Bug ID: 463850
Summary: No explanation for the yellow exclamation mark that
appears on desktop files that aren't in standard app
directories
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version: 22.12.1
Platform: OpenSUSE
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: dolphin-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: jackhill3...@gmail.com
CC: kfm-de...@kde.org
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
I built an app from source, and the outputted .desktop files have yellow
exclamation marks on them. Looking at the properties of the file, the
exclamation marks are not a part of the icon, so I figured dolphin added them
as a warning. However there's nothing to indicate what the exclamation mark is
warning me about.
I eventually figured out that the reason is because the file wasn't located in
$HOME/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Make a dummy file with the suffix ".desktop"
2. Place a copy in $HOME/.local/share/applications
OBSERVED RESULT
The original file has an exclamation mark on the icon, the copy does not.
There's no explanation for why the exclamation mark exists.
EXPECTED RESULT
Maybe there should be a tooltip that explains why there's an exclamation mark.
