Duplicate menu entries after editing desktop file
After editing Telegram menu entry (via right click) (eg, to add options), duplicate entries later appear in the menu.
Problem appears to be caused by the filename Telegram has chosen: org.telegram.desktop.desktop
The double .desktop
extention is collapsed when the file is saved to ~/.local/share/applications
as org.telegram.desktop
. The mismatched file names are then considered separate entries, and Telegram appears twice in the menu.
Telegram devs consider this a KDE bug and refuse to rename the desktop file.
As far as I can tell, filenames with double .desktop
extension is not forbidden by XDG Desktop Menu Specification.
