relative path and arguments
Product: frameworks-kglobalaccel
Version: 5.84.0
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal

SUMMARY
When I configuring action to run command in KDE Custom Shortcuts interface with
relative path, starting from $HOME and with arguments - it fails to start. With
absolute path OR without arguments - all works well!
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create some executable test file in home folder, eg `~/bin/test-cmd.sh` with
contents:
```
#!/bin/bash
kdialog --msgbox "Launched with arg 1: $1!"
```
2. In KDE Custom Shortcuts settings create a new global shortcut with command
"/home/USERNAME/bin/test-cmd.sh my-arg1"
Test that it works successfully.
3. Replace command path to relative: "~/bin/test-cmd.sh my-arg1" and launch
again.
You will see the error message:
```
Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder
/home/USERNAME/bin/test-cmd.sh my-arg1 does not exist.
```
4. Remove argument from command text "~/bin/test-cmd.sh" and launch again - it
will executed successfully!
EXPECTED RESULT
Command with relative path and arguments should be launched successfully, like
with full path.
