Desktop file should be named after the app name

[Bonjour123]

First, thank you for your commitement to the project :)

[PROPOSED IMPROVEMENT]

Desktop file should be named after the app name.

Currently, with this settings:

Here is the Desktop file name I get:

com.github.ryonakano.pinit.44a35a5c-587b-4a81-ba8d-a1a9b61dbb7f.desktop

whereas I should have:

pomatez.desktop

Also, the location of the desktop file should be displayed so the user can find it easily.

Thank you for using the app and your proposal!

The app names desktop files in the form of com.github.ryonakano.pinit.<UUID>.desktop at the moment because naming them after the app name would make things a little complicated:

• What should we do if a user changes the app name?
  • Rename the desktop files too? But what about if a file that has the filename after rename already exists?
• What should we do if a user set the same app name to multiple entries?
  • Name like appname_1.desktop?

This app aims to manage desktop entries without file managers so that users don't need to know that they are saved in files.

Hi, thank you for your time.
For the first point, I guess if the user already renamed the file it's because he knows where the file is, and decided of a particular name that is NOT the one of the app (since if it was the case he wouldn't have had to rename it). So I think we shouldn't touch it if it already has been renamed.

About the second point, yes, I think naming it with an extra counter to deal with duplicates is a good solution, quite common in UX so the user wouldn't be surprise.

Also there is maybe the simpler solution to simply display the absolute path of the desktop file, which would solve the original problem, i.e. to be able to find the file and modify it at will.
