SUMMARY
Kickoff Favorites tab does not apply desktop entry command change


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Download an AppImage
2. Use kmenuedit to create an entry

In my example

Category: Development
Name: Beekeeper Studio
Icon: beekeeper-studio
Description: Modern and easy to use SQL client for MySQL, Postgres, SQLite, SQL Server, and more
Command: /home/nico/Applications/Beekeeper-Studio-3.4.3.AppImage
Work path: /home/nico/Applications

3. Open Kickoff → Right-click on the new entry → Add to Favorites
4. Change the file name of the AppImage
5. Open Kickoff → Right-click on the entry → Edit application → Application tab → Adjust the command to reflect the file name change
6. Try to start the program from the Favorites category

OBSERVED RESULT
Fails to start because it tries to launch it with the old command

EXPECTED RESULT
Should launch it with the new command

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Linux/KDE Plasma: Fedora 36
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.94.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
When using the search or starting it from the app's category, it works
