Bug is probably here: https://invent.kde.org/plasma/plasma-workspace/-/blob/master/applets/devicenotifier/package/contents/ui/DeviceItem.qml#L127

The "Mount and open" action in the UI is hardcoded to open an action with the filename "test-predicate-openinwindow.desktop". Probably renaming the action in the KCM creates a new .desktop file with a different name, so the action doesn't work anymore.

I have no idea how to fix this though.
