files with same name

I have 3 .desktop files with same name in a folder as in attachment

But realname is actually:
ls -a bzr-explorer/export/
'org.bzr.explorer (another copy).desktop'  org.bzr.explorer.desktop
'org.bzr.explorer (copy).desktop'

It should show real name for .desktop files to avoid confusion


Other: 
sometimes editing .desktop from Context -> Properties would result file named .desktop.desktop


Thanks

Thanks for taking the time to report this.

This particular bug has already been reported into our bug tracking system, but please feel free to report any further bugs you find.

With the separation of desktop handling, we should be able to finally drop the special casing of *.desktop files next cycle.
