Description Tamás Králl 2025-05-17 10:36:47 UTC 
SUMMARY
Desktop files (*.desktop) have three properties: Name, Description (GenericName) and Comment.

If the Comment is missing, the Description will be used instead in the Application Launcher. What that means is that while all other apps are showing their Comment (usually something like active like "Listen to music"), Dolphin will just show "File Manager", because Dolphin's desktop file doesn't have a Comment.

So a Comment could be added, something like "Manage your files and folders".
