After the upgrades to 5.4.3, Crating new link to application is missing the Application tab This is bug manifest itself either if you try to create a new link to an application in the Deskiop folder view or in Dolphin. Probably they use the same code. This bug was not present in 5.4.2.
I believe that the bug is due to the fact that the "Location" instead being in an editable place such as /home/<username>/Desktop is automatically chosen /kio5/newfile-templates/.source, which obviously does not exist. Actually the Location problem manifests itself in other occasions, for instance when starting certain applications from older links. I think that code needs to be scrutinized thoroughly.
It's showing up and working fine for me. Some sort of distro issue with the templates not being installed?

I am on OpenSuSE Leap 42.1 using the KF5 updates to 5.4.3. On my Laptop I have the original verision 5.4.2 and does not have this issue. In addition the new version is a lot more unstable. If I turn off the monitor the windows decoration disappear and all the windows are minimized. Weird! No such issues in 5.4.2
I am not the only one having the issue. See below: https://forum.kde.org/viewtopic.php?f=289&t=129585&sid=49d32f35a1f946534bb8301f11d0ea4b

Well, since 5.16.0 there should not be any template files necessary for this: https://quickgit.kde.org/?p=kio.git&a=commit&h=6ec29b03e4433c93bf5c2e5da977d019440020a9 But apparently loading the .source files from the embedded .qrc doesn't work it seems.
PS, forgot to add: This is still an issue with Frameworks 5.18.0. And it happens with all supplied templated. Creating a text or html file does work, but the corresponding .source file is not being copied, so the new file is just empty.
