.desktop suffix vanishes





.everyoneloves__top-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__mid-leaderboard:empty,.everyoneloves__bot-mid-leaderboard:empty{ margin-bottom:0;
}







0















I followed the advice in https://askubuntu.com/a/1037153/701356
and created a .desktop file, gave it execute permissions and moved it to ~/.local/share/applications



Three things I notice:
The .desktop suffix vanishes in Caja (although other files in the folder keep theirs).
It is no longer possible to edit the file by right-clicking the icon and hoping to see an "Open with Pluma" option.
If the file is copied elsewhere and renamed, Caja still thinks it is of type "desktop configuration file", and opening it launches the program.



Is all this behaviour correct?
