I was talking about right-clicking an icon on the desktop, clicking
Properties and then trying to save the change by clicking OK.
That's when the error message is generated.
I believe this should work right-off-the-box, otherwise I do not
understand why the Properties item is even in the menu.
This is interesting.
The problem only occurs when the desktop icon is created as a link.
How to reproduce - plasma desktop:
1. Click on Fedora symbol on the task bar.
2. Enter the search string into the search field, i.e. Thunderbird
3. Drug the result (Thundebird) to the desktop.
4. A drop list appears
5. Choose "Link here"
6. Properties of the icon created in such a way cannot be changed
However, if one chooses "Copy here" in 5 above,
the properties of the created icon can be changed.
Is that the intentional behaviour?
Yes, that's intentional. Do you understand what a soft link is? It's
pointing to the original file, which is normally what you want. If you
want to be able to edit it, then you need to copy it instead, because
then you own the file.
