SUMMARY `.desktop` files are annoying to deal with and are spread across innumerable directories across often multiple drives and partitions, but somehow always get picked up. This leads to inconvenient situations where the application search can return 50 results for "Steam" of which 1 is correct and 49 are dead references with no discernible origin. Because KDE seems to be able to pick up `.desktop` files even if they're written on paper in an old shoebox in my grandma's attic it also becomes impossible to edit or remove incorrect or orphaned `.desktop` entries. I would wish for an application or settings submenu where I can graphically edit `.desktop` files that were auto-detected by KDE or at least for a way to right-click on a Search result in the application search, which would show me the path where these parasitic `.desktop` files are located, so that I can delete them. STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Type anything into the application search 2. See that you have many search results with absolutely no context 3. Despair OBSERVED RESULT Application Search results are displayed with no way of finding out what their origin is, leaving search results cluttered with garbage that cannot be removed without running a `find` command that searches all mounted volumes for files with the `.desktop` extension EXPECTED RESULT Right-Clicking on a Search result should open a small context menu that shows me the file path for this particular `.desktop` file. Alternatively there could be a menu in the system settings for Desktop Shortcuts, where I would be able to see the path of the `.desktop` file, see the execute parameter and possibly change/add icons SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Linux/KDE Plasma: Arch Linux 6.14.2-273-tkg-bore KDE Plasma Version: 6.3.4 KDE Frameworks Version: 6.13.0 Qt Version: 6.9.0 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION Sorry for not properly categorizing this feature request, I don't know where I should've put it.
KDE has an app that does this: KMenuEdit. In version 6.4, it will be able to show you the path to the file, too.
