'How to create desktop shortcut passing custom arguments? [closed]
I have KDE 5.20.5 and would like to create a desktop shortcut for launching Chromium passing custom command line arguments to it.
Initially, I've right-clicked on a Launcher Chromium menu entry -> Add to Desktop... and the shortcut got created. However, it's just a symlink to /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop and I can't modify it.
Then, I've tried to copy that /usr/share/applications/chromium.desktop onto my desktop manually so I could modify the copy and not touch the original. However even before editing it, it 's unable to launch Chromium. It displays the following message box when double-clicked:
Unknown error code 100 You are not authorized to execute this file. Please send a full bug report at https://bugs.kde.org.
I've sweated googling an answer to such the basic question: what is correct \ recommended way of creating a modifiable desktop shortcut based on a Launcher menu entry in KDE Plasma?
