Version: (using KDE KDE 3.3.2) Installed from: Gentoo Packages OS: Linux It is currently not possible to reference paths and filenames relative to the path where the desktop file itself is located. This is very useful when developing scripts that generate datafiles and desktop files that will do something with those datafiles. When the user moves the directory that contains both the datafiles and the desktop files, the desktop files will stop working, because the absolute location of the datafiles have been hardcoded into them. Maybe we could support setting the 'Working Directory' to the location of the desktop file by specifying '.' as the Working Directory.
This bug is still present in KDE 4.5 It also does not honors variables for icons path. Icons=$foo/bar.png does not work, but, Exec=$foo/bar.bin does work!
Hi, kdelibs (version 4 and earlier) is no longer maintained since a few years. KDE Frameworks 5 or 6 might already have implemented this wish. If not, please re-open against the matching framework if feasible or against the application that shows the issue. We then can still dispatch it to the right Bugzilla product or component.
