Ubuntu 19.04: Some .desktop shortcuts don't work anymore

  • 772

I just updated to Ubuntu 19.04 and now some of my .desktop shortcuts don't work anymore.

For example, this:

#!/usr/bin/env xdg-open
[Desktop Entry]
Version=1.0
Type=Application
Terminal=false
Icon[en_GB]=/home/leonardo/Photoshop/AMT/Core key files/ProductIcon/ps.ico
Name[en_GB]=Photoshop
Exec=env WINEPREFIX="/home/leonardo/Photoshop" wine64  "/home/leonardo/Photoshop/Photoshop.exe"
Name=Photoshop
Icon=/home/leonardo/Photoshop/AMT/Core key files/ProductIcon/ps.ico

Used to launch Photoshop perfectly, now it just opens a gedit window for me to edit the text file of the shortcut itself.

Did something change? What do I do?

gnome shortcuts .desktop 19.04

    From the comments...

    The "Desktop" in 19.04 works differently than in the past... and really... only folders of stuff work there now... individual items probably won't work until they finish their programming for that.

    MOVE the .desktop file into the ~/.local/share/applications folder. Hit the SUPER key and type Photoshop.
