Bug 463153

SUMMARY


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Have a windows computer prepared with both KDE dolphin and Discord installed
2. Configure discord to show your running games as your status, this may be set by default.
3. Run KDE dolphin.
4. Observe in Discord, how your status is displayed as playing Dolphin, the Wii/Gamecube emulator, known as dolphin-emu on linux.
Note that this will not appear in large servers with default settings in some countries, so check it in a DM, or look for the streaming popup above your user panel at the bottom of the channel list.

OBSERVED RESULT
Discord identifies the file browser as dolphin-emu, (only known as dolphin-emu on linux, on windows it just goes by Dolphin) the Nintendo Wii/Gamecube emulator. There is no way to tell Discord to ignore the application, or display it as something else, as it is a "verified" application. Meaning there is no way to remove the incorrect status for the end user but disable the functionality entirely.

EXPECTED RESULT
Discord would have no reaction to the different application being opened, as it is a file browser, not a game, and definitely not an emulator.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 11 21H2
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.100.0
Qt Version: 5.15.7

PROPOSED SOLUTIONS:
1: Rename the distributed dolphin.exe to `KDE-dolphin.exe`, or similar. 

2: Contact discord to try to have the issue fixed on their end, as `Dolphin.exe` refers to dolphin-emu, when `dolphin.exe` refers to the file browser. Notice the capitalization difference. Discord's application identification code could be changed to notice the capitalization difference and ignore KDE dolphin. This would be the preferred solution as it follows the KDE philosophy of a good solution always being better than a hacky one.
