No. There does not appear to be a problem adding launcher that way.

Assuming the problem might be related to specific applications, I tested
with three that have given me the problem using drag and drop.

1. * COMMAND: calibre --using library "Fiction"*
             NAME "Fiction Library"
             ICON ~/.local/share/icons/calibre-fiction.jpg
             CONTAINER = MEDIA (sub-dock)
         where there are two existing similar launchers in the same
container differing in library parameter, NAME and ICON.

2. * COMMAND: zim
"/home/johnb/Documents/Doc.Critical/Brain/zimWIKI/zim-BRAIN/notebook.zim" *
             NAME "zim-LENR"
             ICON ~/.local/share/icons/calibre-fiction.jpg
             CONTAINER = BRAIN (sub-dock)
         where there are three existing similar launchers in the same
container.

3. *COMMAND: **firefox https://www.wunderlist.com/#/lists/inbox**
* NAME "WunderList"
             ICON ~/.local/share/icons/calibre-fiction.jpg
             CONTAINER = BRAIN (sub-dock)
         where there is one existing similar launcher in a different
container (main dock).

There was no problem with these three. All three of these created
problems in the past in two cases:
             A. Existing launcher on menu (Linux Mint Cinnamon) copied
to desktop, modified then D&D to cairo-dock and edit into proper container.
             B. New launcher created directly on desktop then D&D to
cairo-dock and edit into proper container.

Thank you for the prompt attention.
