Bug description
I added a menu item for android studio and it shows up, but after every time I boot the item is missing. If I go back into the menu editor the item is there and the show checkbox is checked. If I open properties, edit the path (/media//..., on another partition of my boot drive) without changing it, and save, then the item reappears in the start menu (until the next boot).
Steps to reproduce
see above
Expected behavior
item should always be visible on start menu

Research direction
Reproduce the boot-time disappearance using the Cinnamon menu editor, an Android Studio item, and its path on the mounted /media partition. Start by tracing how menu entries are loaded at boot and refreshed when the item properties are saved. Done means the item remains visible in the start menu after reboot without editing and saving its properties.
