Chromium

@dibl: Maybe ~ /.local/share/applications/ does work too?

When I use kmenuedit to create a new entry it is placed into that folder...

Hmmmmmm -- I don't know.

But I did not ever edit any of those.  In the dolphin view, the first three have icons that match the Ad-Block Plus, Ad-Block, and Ghostery extensions so I assume that's how they got in there.  And they have their own little "Exec=" command line:

Exec=/usr/bin/chromium --profile-directory=Default --app-id=cfhdojbkjhnklbpkdaibdccddilifddb


So, I edited /usr/share/applications/chromium-desktop only.  But my custom disk-cache-dir=  command shows in ~/.local/share/applications/chromium.desktop, so it must be getting copied (overwritten) there from the /usr/share/applications version during the update of the package.  At least that is what I think is happening.  For sure, if I forget to make the edit after a chromium update, the cache will be built under ~/.cache/chromium/Default instead of in the /run/user tmpfs.

Sorry, one question. No big deal, I'm just curious. Does 'Right Click -> Save As' a link to a file crash Chromium for you too ? It does here for months now with almost anything several times updated. Seems extension dependent, .zip works fine Gnome here, maybe it's a Gnome thing.

I just tested an image, and also a debian package link, and both worked from the right click.

So, must be me then.  Cheers dibl,

If you run chromium from your user terminal, then crash it, there might be some useful error output in your terminal to troubleshoot.  My prediction -- something about gnome desktop.
