Created attachment 106609 [details] screenshot of desktop files If a *.desktop file contains a Comment field, it is used as the type by Dolphin. This causes strange 'types' to be displayed, such as "Browse the Web" for firefox.
This is from KFileItem (I think) whose (mime)Comment also reads the Comment. Re-assigning there but I don't think this will be changed or "fixed" for Dolphin.
Bug persists. Operating System: Arch Linux KDE Plasma Version: 5.15.3 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.56.0 Qt Version: 5.12.2
Yes it's still in KFileItem::mimeComment. There the comment field is read and returned when file type is application/x-desktop. But why was that implemented as first?
Created attachment 124809 [details] patch since phabricator won't let me submit a patch, it's here
Let's fix your Phab access so you can submit a patch. Are you having trouble logging in, or submitting it once you're logged in?

Was this patch ever submitted?
A possibly relevant merge request was started @ https://invent.kde.org/frameworks/kio/-/merge_requests/1942
I have verified it on the latest kio and dolphin and submitted a PR.
