SUMMARY When you have an executable program in a directory (e.g. a portable version of a program, one that can be launched directly from wherever the zip is extracted), creating an Icons-only Task Manager icon for launching this program should be a super-simple DnD operation. Currently it is not. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Have the Icons-only Task Manager on your panel 2. Download and extract portable GeoGebra Classic 6 https://download.geogebra.org/package/linux-port6 3. Open the extracted directory in dolphin 4. Try dragging the executable onto Icons-only Task Manager OBSERVED RESULT Either nothing happens, or the program whose icon was under mouse when the LMB was released is executed with the file:// URL of the dragged-and-dropped binary passed as a parameter. EXPECTED RESULT The icon to launch the program should be added to Icon Task Bar.

This should be fixed in AppImages by using AppImageLauncher. Upstream doesn't like the idea to add AppImage desktop integration in libtaskmanager or kwin.
