Feature Request: Refresh Button #3

Closed jake770321 closed 3 months ago

Hi, A restart/logout is currently required to apply any changes made to .desktop files. A refresh option on the right click menu would make creating/modifying .desktop files much easier and more straightforward. As someone fairly new to linux, creating desktop shortcuts is a pain and i feel like a refresh option would help a lot as it took me a frustratingly long amount of time to figure out that changes only apply after logging out or restarting. Thanks

Seems more like a bug in monitoring of filesystem changes than something which requires a dedicated refresh feature. Can you explain what you were editing on the desktop file that did not propagate to the view? Thanks!

I'm trying to edit a .desktop file using gedit. Any changes i make aren't aren't applied until after i log out and then back in. Edit: Right now I'm editing the Exec and Icon line and when clicking on the desktop icon the old command is still executed and the icon that was set before the change is still shown until after i logout and log back in.

I've been trying to reproduce this myself on the latest version and I have not been successful. Is this still a problem?
