            Bug ID: 416105
           Summary: Uncategorized apps usually don't show up in the menu
                    editor
           Product: kmenuedit
           Version: 5.17.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
          Reporter: leftcrane at tutanota.com
  Target Milestone: ---

All apps from the relevant appear in the main menu/krunner (usually) but if the
.desktop file lacks the Category descriptor, it won't show up in the menu
editor. Supposedly, you can find these uncategorized apps in "Lost and Found"
but in my experience, they usually aren't there.


STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Create a desktop file:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Type=Application
Name=OpenAudible
Exec=/bin/sh "/opt/OpenAudible/OpenAudible" %U
StartupWMClass=install4j-org-openaudible-desktop-Application
Icon=/opt/OpenAudible/.install4j/OpenAudible.png


2. Put it into ~/.local/share/applications
3. Run kbuildsycoca5
4. Check Kmenuedit for this program.

OBSERVED RESULT

Desktop link isn't shown anywhere in Kmenuedit. (I actually observed this
problem first after installing this program, which put the .desktop file a
system folder. It also didn't show up in the menu editor.)


EXPECTED RESULT

Desktop links should always be shown in Kmenuedit.
