Upgrade StorageOpenning Zotero on Debian 13 (on zotero.desktop)
What is
exec=bash -c "$(dirname $(realpath $(echo %k | sed -e 's/^file:\\/\\///')))/zotero -url %U"
in zotero.desktop? It does not works
Let's assume I follow the suggestion and save zotero in /opt/zotero. Then,
exec=bash -c "/opt/zotero/zotero -url %U"
works. But, what the first command tries does not produce this...

Maybe not, only related to icon, but maybe related to https://forums.zotero.org/discussion/129644/zotero-icon-in-desktop-pane-is-not-visible-with-dark-adwaita-xfce-4-20-and-debian-13#latest

Thanks for pointing that out, turns out I'm able to run Zotero from the menu item as well. (i.e. by clicking on menu -> Zotero). But when I try to open them from Application launcher (Alt+f2) it fails. Changing the exec to direct path (/path-to-zotero/zotero) fixes the issue.
