Hi all

I install some windows games via wine.
At desktop appeared desktop entries,
but it marked with an exclamation mark.

How can i get rid of exclamation marks?

OS= Fedora Linux 38 x86_64

At Cinamon no exclamation mark.

Try to validate the problematic launchers:

desktop-file-validate "$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)"/*.desktop

[kiril@HPNB Desktop]$ ls -l
загалом 24

[kiril@HPNB Desktop]$
[kiril@HPNB Desktop]$ desktop-file-validate “$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)”/*.desktop
[kiril@HPNB Desktop]$ desktop-file-validate *.desktop
[kiril@HPNB Desktop]$

Let’s check the contents of one of the launchers:

cat -A "$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)/Дело о морской капусте.desktop"

$ cat -A “$(xdg-user-dir DESKTOP)/Дело о морской капусте.desktop”
[Desktop Entry]$

It seems like the exclamation mark is a feature of pcmanfm-qt (the LXQt file manager, which also handles the desktop icons).

Trusting executables - lxqt/pcmanfm-qt Wiki:

By default, executable files are not “trusted”, which means that a prompt dialog will be shown if the user (double) clicks them. Desktop entries (files whose real names end with .desktop), that are not inside ~/.local/share/applications or /usr/share/applications, may have a special emblem on their icons, showing that they are not trusted

If you right-click on the desktop icon, there should be an option “Trust this executable”.

indeed…
