Ping. I would like to second this request. I really need to know where the .desktop file is located for the menu items I'm editing. I've been hovering over things, looking for the path in tooltips, but it doesn't seem to be anywhere. This became particularly relevant with Plasma 6.3, where because of https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/merge_requests/4969 there is now no way to locate .desktop files from Kickoff's model. Previously, having this information in Kickoff's properties dialog was useful for troubleshooting all kinds of problems caused by user-edited versions of launchers. I'm not aware of any other way to do this that regular users can follow through, so I consider this a regression from the user support perspective. https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-desktop/-/issues/140#note_1107206 Another thing we can do, keep edit application to open kmenuedit but add another context menu entry 'properties', I was used to this behavior and sudden change is causing so much problem. *** Bug 500864 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/plasma/kmenuedit/-/merge_requests/40 Git commit 1cb3e619b4990d2dfab421ace30399d0eb070581 by Oliver Beard. Committed on 18/03/2025 at 22:02. Pushed by olib into branch 'master'. Add file actions including path, open containing and file properties for entry Now, you can open the normal file properties dialog for any entry by pressing the standard shortcut or in the file and context menus. Also included are actions to copy the location and open that location in the file manager, comparable to Kate/KWrite. This works for both menu entries and directories.
