Description Alexander Mentyu 2018-11-23 13:54:06 UTC 
SUMMARY
When copying same app icon from app launcher to desktop - if 'Suggest New Name' button is pressed in 'File Already Exists' dialog - the desktop icon is displayed identically with previous e.i. 'Dolphin' and 'Dolphin' desktop icons - even after 'Suggest New Name' and Rename buttons were pressed (implying that new desktop icon will be displayed differently) 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag for example Dolphin icon from application launcher to desktop.
2. Select for example 'Copy Here' in option menu.
3. Drag Dolphin icon from application launcher to desktop again (without removing the previous icon).
4. Select 'Copy Here' in option menu.
5. Look at 'Rename' text field in 'File Already Exists' dialog.

OBSERVED RESULT
Domain app name is displayed in it - i.e. 'org.kde.dolphin.desktop'

EXPECTED RESULT
Regular app name is displayed in it - i.e. 'Dolphin'

The file name is in fact "org.kde.dolphin.desktop", so that's what it bases this decision on. Desktop folder has special magic to read the pretty name from the file and pretend it's the file name.

This is such an edge case, and there is no obvious solution, that I think it's not worth fixing, sorry. :(
