You have been subscribed to a public bug:

If you modify a desktop file in /usr/share/applications (say change
leafpad's name to leafpad - changed), it gets picked up immediately
after saving the file when using the dash (by typing leaf, "leafpad -
changed" would pop up.

For files in ~/.local/share/applications, this does not hold. Editing
them is not picked up by the dash and presumably the bamf. One needs to
usually change the name of the desktop file for it to be noticed. And
that does not work 100 % either.

** Affects: unity-lens-applications (Ubuntu)
