Description Lach Sławomir 2020-02-16 08:26:29 UTC
SUMMARY
When I drag and drop Steam icon from left panel of menu and select copy on folderview, broken link was created. Steam is pinned to the current activity and installed by flatpak in system installation. I must open properties on the icon in menu and copy path to newly created icon on desktop.

The path for icon on desktop starts with ./../../app/
But it should start with /var/app ...


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Install Steam from flathub system-wide
2. Pin Steam to current activity 
3. Drag it to folder view placed on desktop and select copy option

OBSERVED RESULT
Link with broken path was created

EXPECTED RESULT
At least Plasma should check link is correct and show message. Better option is append prefix used to run programs from menu (working directory)

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Windows: 
macOS: 
Linux/KDE Plasma: 
(available in About System)
KDE Plasma Version: 
KDE Frameworks Version: 
Qt Version: 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
This error exists on Plasma 5.18, but I think it also exist on 5.17 .

Hello and thank you again for the bug report! Unfortunately we were not able to address it yet, nor even manage to reproduce the issue ourselves. Can we ask you to please check if this issue is still happening with Plasma 5.27?

If it is, please change the status to REPORTED. Thanks a lot!

Unfortunately those links are broken or inaccessible for me.

Sorry. Previous media was added here by mistake. I put it into correct bug topic. I try to prepare correct description in future, if I realize what problem was.
