Description Pit 2011-12-17 14:45:10 UTC
Version:           0.7 (using KDE 4.6.0) 
OS:                Linux

I had used kmenuedit to change the menu look a bit - that was already a year ago. In the meantime I installed some programs (games, a flight log book etc.) that put their start files in ~/.local/share/applications.
Today I wanted to restore the system menu look, using the option in kmenuedit.  But instead of only deleting ~/.config/menus/applications-kmenuedit.menu, it deleted THE WHOLE DIRCETORIES ~/.local/share/[desktop-directories|applications]!


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create files in ~/.local/share/[desktop-directories|applications]
start kmenuedit, Restore system menu


Actual Results:  
The files, including the directories, are gone

Expected Results:  
.desktop files should not be touched, especially when never touched by kmenuedit

The version of kmenuedit reported by Help->About is 0.8 (but I cannot select this above)

If I use Edit->Restore to System Menu a dialog pops up asking:
"Do you want to restore the system menu? Warning: This will remove all custom menus"

So it is obviously intended to delete the whole directory with custom desktop files
