Methodology when using Plasma Desktop

Assuming that you see ‘the list of apps’ in your menu (application launcher), as with many things on Plasma you can use the context menu…

From there you can go to ‘edit the application’ to get a dialog window:

General | Permissions | Applications | Details

  • GENERAL tab you see Location (generally ~/.local/share/applications) for the launcher you see in the menu.

  • APPLICATIONS tab you get information about the command, you can also edit the Description/comment too.

The only thing I’d add is, if it’s a distribution-packaged application and the menu entry hasn’t been modified by the user, the .desktop file that creates that application launcher icon is probably in /usr/share/applications/.

(This particular case is probably due to an edit leading to a version getting created in ~/.local/share/applications/, that’s true, just thinking for OP’s future reference :slight_smile: )

This why I posted ‘how to discover yourself’ rather than just a path…

The context menu takes you to a dialog which will point to the actual source.
