Description Karl Cheng 2017-10-14 03:43:08 UTC
If a .desktop file has a space in the file name, its associated entry in the application menu cannot be pinned to taskbar.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open "KDE Menu Editor".
2. Click "New Item" and add a name using a space.
3. Set the command to any program, e.g. "audacity".
4. Right click the new menu entry and select "Pin to Task Manager".
5. Repeat, but do not add a space in "New Item".

[Task Manager] Remove strict URL handling

The code tried hard to ignore garbage URLs, as Qt is quite lenient, e.g. QUrl("Garbage Url") is still valid.
There is no way to change the strictness of a QUrl after creation,
so the code would enforce it by doing QUrl strictUrl(inputUrl.toString(), QUrl::StrictMode).
However, toString() defaults to PrettyDecoded which avoids percent-encoding and keeps spaces
in tact which is not a valid thing to have in a strict URL.
Effectively, we want to ensure a URL is either a valid path to a local file,
or one of the special applications (for menu ids), or preferred for preferred applications, like web browser,
FIXED-IN: 5.18.0
