            Bug ID: 421364
           Summary: App launched via a desktop icon opens its own desktop
                    file
           Product: dolphin
           Version: 20.04.0
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
          Assignee: dolphin-bugs-null at kde.org
          Reporter: tagwerk19 at innerjoin.org
                CC: kfm-devel at kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY:

    If click on an application shortcut created on the desktop it appears that
the application is opened with the name of the whatever.desktop file as an
argument.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE:

    Create a desktop shortcut (for example by right clicking on the application
in the launch menu and selecting 'Add to Desktop')

    For Dolphin, this creates a "org.kde.dolphin.desktop" file in the Desktop
folder

    Click on the newly created icon.

OBSERVED RESULTS:

    Dolphin opens in a

        Desktop/org.kde.dolphin.desktop/

    "folder" and prompts "What do you want to do with this executable file"

EXPECTED RESULTS:

    Dolphin opens in the Home folder. 

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS:

    Dolphin 20.04.0
    from Neon Testing 

    KDE Plasma 5.18.5
    KDE Frameworks 5.71.0
    Qt 5.14.2 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION:

    Probably not a Dolphin bug, not sure where to file it though; as per
discussion under Bug 421329, launching Kate via its icon on desktop, opens its
own .desktop file

    This behaviour has changed since Neon (Plasma 5.18.4, Framework 5.69.0, QT
5.14.1)
