My file /home/seb/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc contains the following shortcut (is this the name you use?) to a directory: [Containments][19][Applets][40][Configuration][General] applicationName=Grenoble genericName=Grenoble iconName=inode-directory url=file:///home/seb/Documents/Images/Grenoble/2016 This entry appears on the desktop, but unfortunately it is named "2016" (basename of the target directory) instead of the desired name ("Grenoble"). It used to work "in the past". It also seems there is no way to customize this shortcut (name, target, icon, ...), except from editing the file plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: Steps to reproduce: - drag and drop a directory from Dolphin to the desktop, - logout from KDE - edit the file ~/.config/plasma-org.kde.plasma.desktop-appletsrc, find the corresponding entry, add an applicationName and genericName, - login again and see the result Actual Results: applicationName and genericName are not taken into account, directory basename is used instead. Expected Results: applicationName should be shown as the icon name on the desktop.
You cannot expect random configuration keys to magically work. See Bug 349177 for a ticket about bringing back the config options.

"random configuration keys"? Those keywords were set by Plasma itself when migrating my shortcuts from one Plasma version to a newer one. This perfectly worked up to Fedora 23 (can not say which Plasma it was). I am just reporting a regression.
