Bug ID: 522212
Summary: App overwrites in ~/.local/share/applications are
ignored
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version First 6.7.1
Reported In:
Platform: Arch Linux
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]

Target Milestone: 1.0
DESCRIPTION
I have changed the icons of a few apps (I'll be using Discord as an example
here), but the changed icon and lauch parameters are not used at all.
HOWEVER, the launch feedback *is* the new icon. Nothing else is though.
Furthermore, the KDE menu editor doesn't recognize the changes either.
Making changes with the editor and saving it results in the changes I want
(different icon, launch parameters) in ~/.local/share/applications, however
restarting the editor and editing the same application again shows no changes
at all. The desktop file is still changed, it still has the edits I want, but
they're just completely ignored.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Copy a .desktop file from /usr/share/applications/ to
~/.local/share/applications/
2. Edit the .desktop file
OBSERVED RESULT
If a desktop file exists in both /usr/share/applications/ and
~/.local/share/applications/, the /usr/share/applications variant is used.
EXPECTED RESULT
User overwrites in ~/.local/share/applications/ should be preferred over
/usr/share/applications/
