This doesnt make sense. Desktop files belong in one of three places:

• ~/.local/share/applications
• /usr/local/share/applications
• /usr/local/applications

If you could just put them anywhere, there would be no way to decide override behavior and scanning would take forever.

You can fix your issue by symlinking your stray files into any of those above.

I wonder why it doesn't search in $PATH as a backup, like say dmenu.

@slaykachu that's a different issue, and it's being discussed @ https://github.com/Ulauncher/Ulauncher/issues/454
