When I change the name of a bottle, the entry in my Ubuntu software/applications view (sorry, forget the official name; the thing that opens when you hit the Super key) does not open the application in question. I believe this problem lies in Bottles itself, but if I am mistaken, then please mark this appropriately!
Changing the name back solves the issue. If the problem is indeed with Bottles, it might be worth trying to change the paths of shortcuts to reflect the new directory names. I'm not a programmer, though, so I'll obviously defer to you folks' best judgment!
To Reproduce
Start with a bottle with an application that has a desktop/"start menu" (again, sorry, I forget what it's called in Ubuntu) shortcut
Change the name of the bottle
Try clicking on the shortcut (presumably nothing will happen)
Revert bottle's name to the name it had when the program was installed/launching from desktop was enabled
Click on the shortcut again (presumably this will open the application, at least that's how it all went down on my system)
I realize it's possible Bottles didn't create the shortcut, although I seem to recall ticking a box within Bottles itself enabling this, hence submitting the report. Seems like something that should automatically update when the name is changed. Thanks for having a look, hope this isn't a waste of your time! :-)

Yes, Bottles likely created the shortcut, and renaming the bottle broke the shortcut, due to Bottles using the bottle name in order to start the app. It would be far easier to manage once Bottles makes use of the DynamicLauncher portal.
