Desktop icon for Octopi


I created a desktop entry but the descriptor remains as "Link to Application'but this is the only application that remains like that.
Can it be fixed?

Please provide more information.

What desktop environment are you using?

What distro/version are you using (you posted in the Manjaro forum, but you profile says Red Hat)?

What precisely did you do to create the desktop shortcut?

You may wish to read this, if you have not already done so.

Open a terminal, navigate to the Desktop folder, edit the file in question (i'd use nano as editor), and replace the string "Link to Application" with something you desire.

Than you. That worked but it should also have done from the icon properties.
Heigh Ho. Not every KDE product is user friendly.
