[opensuse] KDE icons
On KDE (4.4 on openSUSE 42.3), I have strange icon behavior. If an icon is in some folder, and one clicks on it (in Dolphin), the icon does not execute. Instead, it is opened in kate. If the icon is on the Desktop, this does not happen (i.e., in $HOME/Desktop). It executes when you click on it. I am fairly certain that this did not do this before. The icon properties can be edited by right-clicking. So they are known to be icons by KDE/Dolphin. They just do not execute. They have execute permission (not sure if that matter. All start with #!/usr/bin/env xdg-open It makes no difference if they have .desktop as an extension. Except that when they do, .desktop is included in the name shown. I think that did not happen before. Could there be some setting in KDE that has gotten confused and is causing this? I don't see this on all systems. And unless I am missing something, both working and odd systems are configured the same. Or at least as much the same as anyone can ever tell with KDE... -- Roger Oberholtzer -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse+owner@opensuse.org
