I am reporting an issue with the KDE-Services package (by geobarrod) where
dependency checks in .desktop files fail on Wayland when Dolphin is
launched via a global shortcut (Meta+E).
Issue: The shortcut environment lacks a full PATH, causing which [command] to
return a non-zero exit code even when the utility is installed.
Fix: Replacing which [command]; if [ "$?" != "0" ] with a direct file check
like if [ ! -f /usr/bin/[command] ] resolves the issue and is more robust
for Wayland sessions.
