Retain existing arguments #726
Description
Pre-submit checks
- I checked for similar issues beforehand, but could not find any. I could not add my proposal to any existing issue.
- I am going to take the time to to fill in all the required details. I know that the bug report will be dismissed otherwise.
Feature description
When you perform an update it doesn't keep the existing command arguments. I use Plasma and when I use the Menu Editor to add additional "Command-line arguments:" it shows me %F, but on the previous version I already had placed additional command line arguments I want to run the program with. I am wonder if it is possible to keep those arguments and put them back in place.
Proposed solution
Check the existing short cut arguments and prepend/append them to %F depending on where they are located in relation to %F
Alternative solutions you considered
I don't think any alternative exists, but I guess not doing it is an alternative.
Additional context
Some programs require wayland arguments because it isn't enabled by default, or disabling GPU compositing for example. Keeping these arguments would make life a little easier and not have to reapply them after every upgrade. Once the app image is already "integrated", You could show a window asking the user if they want to keep their command line arguments and to check them for correctness. It would only need to show if the user had changed it from the default.
