Comment 1 Jin Liu 2023-02-17 05:13:46 UTC

I guess this is due to editing an app creates a new .desktop file in ~/.local/share/applications, while Favorites still points to the old location?

Comment 2 Justin Zobel 2023-02-17 07:48:41 UTC

Confirmed. Only happens on newly favourited apps. The defaults can be edited without any issues.

Comment 3 Nate Graham 2023-02-17 21:00:22 UTC

Can reproduce. Restarting plasmashell makes the issue stop happening.

This is fixed in Plasma 6.3.0 with the change to use KMenuEdit instead of the properties dialog.
