Description Daniel Faust 2019-08-22 15:52:05 UTC

I'm the author of a QML Plasma applet that launches applications using kio.kRun.openUrl. openUrl is called with the application's .desktop file as the argument. This used to work until KF5 5.61.0. Now kwrite opens with the .desktop file loaded.

There were some changes to that part recently, possibly causing this:
