Description Tony O'Bryan 2006-07-19 21:02:28 UTC
Version:           3.5.2 (using KDE KDE 3.5.3)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs

My development projects are composed of a main project and multiple subprojects.  The subprojects all share common files from the main project.  In each of my subprojects, I use Konqueror to create symbolic links to the shared files in the main project.

Konqueror always creates the symbolic links using complete absolute paths.  If I move my entire main project tree to another location, or if I archive the project (or any subproject) to move it to another user account, or do anything else that changes the location of the symbolic link so the absolute path is no longer valid, the project build breaks.

It would be nice if Konqueror allowed the creation of relative symbolic links instead of always forcing the creation of symbolic links with absolute paths.
