It’s supper annoying when you have to go to these 3 locations and sort through all .desktop files just to find the command that is being run:
And it would be very handful to be able to do this more comfortably so I can see why some desktop apps don’t run when I click on them by running the “Exec=” comand with a terminal.
Or maybe an option to directly copy the command itself? Or maybe both? What do you think?
“Open .desktop file location” is a cool extension.
IMO a preference for this in Shell would be weird, as in, its very technical and something that would be used maybe once or twice.
Didn’t know there was an extension for that, but I don’t think you should need one for these kind of things. This is the kind of thing that makes Windows better for users than Ubuntu desktop.
Also even though it might be a bit technical I think many people would use it, specially to get error messages to learn why the app that they want to open is not opening.
This features is neither important nor does anything for vast majority of people. How often do you have troubles with .desktop files? And GNOME doesn’t exist to implement everything.
