Description Roman Nikonov 2022-02-23 00:38:36 UTC

SUMMARY
After editing application, second time one opens properties, it still shows older desktop entry


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open Application Launcher
2. Right click any application (e.g., Dolphin) and choose 'Edit Application'
3. Change something there and click 'OK'

OBSERVED RESULT
Changed `org.kde.dolphin.desktop` appears in `~/.local/share/applications/`, but if you try to redo steps 1 and 2, you'll still see `/usr/share/applications` in 'Location' without your changes. After plasmashell restart, it picks up the edit desktop entry from user's directory.

EXPECTED RESULT
After repeating steps 1 and 2, you immediately see `/home/<username>/.local/share/applications` in 'Location' and something that you've changed.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux distro: Manjaro stable
KDE Plasma Version: 5.23.5, master
