Hello Sailors!

I was wandering why adding a .desktop file to $home/.local/share/applications does not overwrite the one in /usr/share/application, but consider it as a new one instead...

To be clear I'll make a simple example: I want to permanently hide tutorial app. The cleanest way is to copy its desktop file to my home, and then add NoDisplay=true. In sailfish os this is not working, because it is generating a second icon and hiding that one.

Is this a "feature" or a bug?
