Bug ID: 470455
Summary: Override Desktop entries sometimes get applied,
sometimes dont
Classification: Plasma
Product: plasmashell
Version: 5.27.5
Platform: Fedora RPMs
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: minor
Priority: NOR
Component: Task Manager and Icons-Only Task Manager
Assignee: plasma-b...@kde.org
Reporter: amanita+kdeb...@mailbox.org
Target Milestone: 1.0
What I do: I have some apps where I dont like the icon.
Or I have another appstarting starting a specific Firefox profile.
Or things like this.
What I do is copy the appstarter of the original to
~/.local/share/applications/x.desktop and it shows up.
AFAIK normally that appstarter should override the system one, as kind of the
users power.
What happens though, is that Firefox often doesnt follow that. Sometimes it
still shows the default icon, while the pined custom one is then a duplicate.
I can imagine this is due to how the processes are identified, its not a
Flatpak-only problem though, as this happens on RPM firefox too.
My proposal is to somehow fix app detection, so that the icon doesnt reset all
the time but actually respects the metadata stated in the appstarters / Desktop
entries.
Specified App:
firefox-113.0.1-4.fc38.x86_64
