SUMMARY On the right click menu on any application entry found in kickoff, their is an option to "Edit Application". However, the edit application dialog - which changes the corresponding .desktop file - does not allow the user to change the icon, if the .desktop file is found in the computer's root directory (/usr/share/applications). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Open the "Edit Application" dialog through right clicking on a kickoff application entry. 2. See window 3. Icon can not be changed, unfortunately OBSERVED RESULT Icon can't be changed EXPECTED RESULT Icon can be changed, through replicating the desktop file in the user's home directory (.local/share/applications). Plasma already replicates the file to modify the name, description and command properties under the "Application" tab of the the edit application window. Why can it not do the same for the icon?
