Let me see if I understand this.

You added .desktop file shortcuts to apps and put them in a folder, and added a Folder View widget to your panel and configured it to show that folder, and now when you open the folder and click on the shortcuts, the app doesn't open and instead the file opens in a text editor app?

If I have that right, can you try giving the files execute permissions and see if that helps?

You added .desktop file shortcuts to apps and put them in a folder, and added a
Folder View widget to your panel and configured it to show that folder*_YES_*, and now
when you open the folder and click on the shortcuts, the app doesn't open*_YES_*  and
instead the file opens in a text editor app?*_NO_. When I click on the shortcuts nothing happens*.

*I tried a Folder View widget placed on Desktop pointing to a folder 
containing .pdf files; clicking on them do not have any effect. I can 
open the files only by choosing the program (Okular) from the menu that 
appears doing richt click on the mouse.*

*Thank you for your help*

Can you try giving them execute permissions and see if that helps?

If you move the shortcuts to the desktop (the actual desktop, as in navigate to "desktop://" in Dolphin) and then open them, does it work?

Shortcuts are working correctly from Dolphin . I copied the shorcut on 
the Desktop; it works.

It's Folder View widgets that does not work properly anymore since a 
recent update (from Backports ppa I presume). I personalized the default 
icon of folders; I still see it in Dolphin but no more in Folder View 
widget where it's shown like the classic Brezza one.

I changed the graphic card for other reasons and this solved the problem.

😮

Well that's very strange!

FWIW I can't reproduce the issue in Plasma 6, and if you can't reproduce it either, let's call it fixed for now.
