error msg

SUMMARY
The example below  occurs with the Brave snap, but I think it also happens with all the other snaps.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. install Brave snap via Discover
2. open Brave and add pin to task manager
3. update Brave (when available)

OBSERVED RESULT
Clicking on the pinned icon throws this "Plasma workspace" error : 
"The file or folder /snap/brave/158/opt/brave.com/brave/brave does not exist. "
= pinned icon doesn't work
(app launching still works via app launcher)

EXPECTED RESULT
App should open.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS

Operating System: KDE neon 5.24
KDE Plasma Version: 5.24.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.93.0
Qt Version: 5.15.3
Kernel Version: 5.13.0-41-generic (64-bit)
Graphics Platform: X11
Processors: 4 × Intel® Core™ m3-6Y30 CPU @ 0.90GHz
Memory: 3,6 GiB of RAM
Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 515

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
I have noticed the version number in the path name (here:158) differs from the the new version numbers, after the update.
My current folders are :
/snap/brave/159
/snap/brave/160
/snap/brave/current
Comment 1 Nate Graham 2022-05-13 14:48:08 UTC
It seems like the path got recorded with the version number in it, rather than using the "current" symlink.

Yap. "Who" sets this ? Snap ? KDE ? Plasma ? Kinda lost here ;)

Can I change this path ? Where should I look ?
Comment 4 4erobil 2022-05-26 10:07:39 UTC
UPDATE

Manually changing the symlink from "/snap/brave/158/opt/brave.com/brave/brave " to "/snap/brave/current/opt/brave.com/brave/brave" has worked 

BUT 

updating the app recreates the problem : app doesn't open and  "Plasma workspace" (updated) error : 
"The file or folder /snap/brave/160/opt/brave.com/brave/brave does not exist. "

Should i post this on Snap forums ? Or Brave's ?
Comment 5 Nate Graham 2022-05-26 16:03:53 UTC
This seems to be a problem in Brave's packaging. To verify, can you right-click on Kickoff > Edit Applications… > search for "Brave" > click on it once > copy and paste the content of the "Command" text field into a comment here?
Comment 6 Nate Graham 2022-05-26 16:04:02 UTC
.
Comment 7 4erobil 2022-05-27 08:53:04 UTC
Sure thing:

env BAMF_DESKTOP_FILE_HINT=/var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/brave_brave.desktop /snap/bin/brave %U
Comment 8 Nate Graham 2022-05-27 12:09:02 UTC
Thanks. Now can you paste the output of `cat /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/brave_brave.desktop`?
Comment 9 4erobil 2022-05-27 12:48:02 UTC
Most certainly:

$ cat /var/lib/snapd/desktop/applications/brave_brave.desktop
