Since the last two updates of Manjaro, i see this unacceptable behavior from Manjaro, to mark LibeOffice icons as “Insecure” in an “insecure” location asking me to give number of confirmations of the confirmations that i actually really, really need to open LibreOffice, or any other LibreOffice program. Unacceptable behavior. How to PERMANENTLY remove ALL and ANY marks like padlocks and arrows on the icons - do not want to see this, and to make Manjaro open LibreOffice WITHOUT any questions and confirmations.
Please note i do not care what they mean, do not tell me this is whatever feature, i do not care about that. its in my way, its and obstruction, and that’s all i are about. Just provide me with a proper working and easy to follow steps how to remove this unacceptable behavior PERMANENTLY.
First you could of simply said you have already been informed what the overlays on the icons mean and you still want to hide them. Second why not put all you shortcuts into a folder and keep that folder open on it’s own desktop instead of cluttering up the desktop?
@nikgnomic dragging from whisker menu seem to be exactly the problem, because it copies the file

Although from what i read in the xfce forum has probably nothing to do with the contents of the desktop file and has to do with checksums instead. I gues when we create a shortcut a new it also sets the checksum and in case of dragging from whisker it is only copying the whisker .desktop to a new location.
You and OP have both been here long enough to know that posting comments in all-capitals is perceived as rude or aggressive
Always Be Civil
Nothing sabotages a healthy conversation like rudeness:
If You See a Problem, Flag It
When you see bad behavior, don’t reply. It encourages the bad behavior by acknowledging it, consumes your energy, and wastes everyone’s time. Just flag it.
it was not like this before Manjaro updates to kernel 6.5, everything was great. this issue raised when upgrade to linux kernel 6.5, as part of the regular updates i get
in case you failed to make the difference, i manage firewalls, routers and switches, and things like spanning tree protocol, routing protocols and other things like trunking ports, access ports, vlans, not misbehaving Linuxes, i never said linux admin, you picking on me shows clear hostile behavior, i am reporting you for this
What I mean is that you have been around Linux and Manjaro long enough to know that security issues are taken seriously - but changes to a user’s homefolder when syncing new packages is a no-go.
So demanding that you should not be bothered with your custom desktop content is barking - not only up the wrong tree - you are also on the wrong forest.
If you think that is hostile - - you are the one shouting out demands … in an immer inpolite manner … one would think you had a thicker skin than me at your behavior
you may have the good idea, but served badly still deliver bad results.
I can understand the intend and wish for security, this is not my issue here
This and being based on Arch Linux are the reasons i have chosen Manjaro to begin with.
but it is not an unreasonable wish to open LibreOffice without a pile of confirmations of the confirmation. Anyway. Forget about it. I will explore other distributions until this issue is fixed and return to Manjaro after it is fixed. installing new Distro is one time effort, answering a pile of confirmations of the confirmations every time i need Impress, Calc or Writer is honestly annoyng
Good idea served badly still gives bad results.
Noticing issue and asking for a solution that works for me, does not mean i order you around or i force demands. basically it is clarification of what i would like to happen. Barking on the wrong tree - you may be right here i will not argue, in the wrong forest? I disagree. This is Manjaro’s forest, i am Manjaro user and i have issues with manjaro i am definitely in the correct forest.
At least you can post a decent apology for picking on me, you picked on me first, without me provoking you, so it is the only ethical and moral thing to do. Until a decent apology is served, i will maintain my report against you and i will see it to a resolution. Yes i have already reported you and flagged the rule i believe is violated.
