Don't pass Exec arguments to kstart when launching via desktop entry name (!50) · Merge requests · Frameworks / KGlobalAccel

Nicolas Fella requested to merge work/desktopargs into master Aug 15, 2022

If we have a desktop file org.kde.foo.desktop with "Exec=foo bar bla"

we are currently calling "kstart5 --application org.kde.foo bar bla"

However we need to call "kstart5 --application org.kde.foo" without any args

kstart5/ApplicationLauncherJob will read the Exec line again and pick up the args
