Describe the bug
Tell us the problem
When renaming a bottle, the app does not update the run command in the desktop entry. The -b <BOTTLE> argument still references the old name. The Desktop Action part isn't updated either.
Similarly, when renaming a program, the run command is not updated : the -p <PROGRAM> argument remains unchanged (and the Name= and Comment= fields as well).
Describe the solution you'd like
Update/recreate the desktop entry entirely when editing a program, or the bottle containing the program.
Other solutions ?
Generate static ids (UUIDS ?) for bottles and programs to be used as arguments for -p & -b, so edition of custom strings does not affect existing commands.
Alternatively, use full paths of executables
Additional context and references
This should be part of a larger design, as it relate to #2256 as well.
I think every program should track the desktop entries they created, and changes on bottles should be cascaded to all the programs as well.
To Reproduce
Details
1. Create a bottle of any type
2. Add two programs of any type (via Install or Add shortcut)
3. Click on the programs' meatball menu, and select `Create desktop entry` for both
4. Locate the desktop entries, and open them. Take note of relevant field values (mainly `Exec=`)
5. Program 1: Menu > Rename... > type anything
- Check the P1 desktop entry: ❌ KO the fields are not updated and the command is broken
6. Program 2: In Options > Settings, edit the bottle's name (field at the very top)
- Check the P2 desktop entry: ❌ KO the fields are not updated and the command is broken
