I’m trying to test lots of incremental changes to a .desktop file. However, the file edit dialog doesn’t seem to automatically save changes immediately, yet doesn’t offer an Apply button either.
It doesn’t seem like changes are immediately saved, because if I try running the application from Application Launcher, it doesn’t invoke a terminal.
Yet, I don’t see an Apply button. Am I being dumb, or is this an oversight? I don’t want to have to go through the Application Launcher plasmoid, then click edit on the relevant entry (.desktop file)'s context menu to test each change.
You can also manually edit the .desktop entry file using a text editor - the format is pretty simple, self explanatory, and lends itself well to text editing.
and Kate doesn’t support not adding the BOM to files that don’t already have a UTF-8 BOM present, so I thought this would be quicker than changing the preference there.
