SUMMARY In the Desktop folder, Folder View shows .desktop files with the name defined in that file instead of as the actual filename. Outside of the Desktop folder, these files are shown with their actual filename. For example, it will show 'org.kde.dolphin.desktop' instead of 'Dolphin'. I would like a check mark option in the settings for each Folder View widget which causes these files to be seen with their Desktop name. The reason I want this is that organize the Desktop into folders, and have multiple Folder View widgets pointing to different folders. For example, I could place all the LibreOffice applications into a folder and point a Folder View widget at it. Or I could place Krita, Blender, and GIMP into a folder and have another Folder View for that. Launching these applications works fine already, so it's just the appearance I want to be able to change. Thanks.
If you're creating, copying, or symlinking the desktop files by hand, why not just rename them yourself?
