Description dmatteo002 2025-11-27 19:02:06 UTC 
SUMMARY
While searching using Krunner or the search bar in the Application launcher, it show results of applications from the specials folders (which can be shown in MenuEditor) ".hidden" and "lost and found", but only if they are not hidden. 

1. This is firstly not congruent with the menu that is shown in the Application launcher that can be added as a mouse action on the desktop/wallpaper.

2. Secondly this is kinda annoying because when trying to delete a desktop file entry from the MenuEditor, it is simply moved to the .hidden folder and if such file is not before hidden, it will still show in the krunner search.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Open menueditor
2. enable hidden file in edit -> configure -> show hidden entry
2. Delete a desktop file (not hidden) using it 
3. save
4. close and reopen desktop file 
5. the file should now be in the .hidden folder
6. search for it in krunner

OBSERVED RESULT
The file is still findable.

EXPECTED RESULT
The file should not be findable (maybe make it hidden).
