All apps from the relevant appear in the main menu/krunner (usually) but if the .desktop file lacks the Category descriptor, it won't show up in the menu editor. Supposedly, you can find these uncategorized apps in "Lost and Found" but in my experience, they usually aren't there. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Create a desktop file: #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=OpenAudible Exec=/bin/sh "/opt/OpenAudible/OpenAudible" %U StartupWMClass=install4j-org-openaudible-desktop-Application Icon=/opt/OpenAudible/.install4j/OpenAudible.png 2. Put it into ~/.local/share/applications 3. Run kbuildsycoca5 4. Check Kmenuedit for this program. OBSERVED RESULT Desktop link isn't shown anywhere in Kmenuedit. (I actually observed this problem first after installing this program, which put the .desktop file a system folder. It also didn't show up in the menu editor.) EXPECTED RESULT Desktop links should always be shown in Kmenuedit. ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Thanks for the report. I've just tested this on 5.20.3 and I can't replicate the issue. I used your desktop entry but switched it to Exec=echo so it would show up in my menu. Can you please test and confirm if this issue is still occurring or if this bug report can be marked as resolved. I've set the bug status to "needsinfo" pending your response, please change back to "reported" or "resolved" when you respond, thanks. #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open [Desktop Entry] Type=Application Name=OpenAudible Exec=echo StartupWMClass=install4j-org-openaudible-desktop-Application Icon=/opt/OpenAudible/.install4j/OpenAudible.png
