Description Shaun Reich 2009-04-25 02:00:12 UTC
Version:            (using Devel)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Compiled sources

I have a folder that is named "Pictures", which houses about 2,000 of my pictures. I then have created a link (symlink) to that folder, in another directory. In preview mode, when I look at the symlink, it does not reveal the fact that it is actually a link. 

You know, that little arrow, "shortcut-like" icon at the bottom-left of the files/folders.

So I am led to believe that this is the actual folder, only to find out that it is just a link to one. So I could delete that link, and unknowingly, my folder would still reside somewhere in the filesystem, just because I was unaware of the fact that it *was* a link.

Whatever generates the previews does this, because it is only in preview mode, and it occurs in tooltips also.

I'd like it too.
Comment 2 Tanja Schulte 2009-06-06 14:29:43 UTC
The name of the link is displayed in italic so you can tell it's a symlink - but nonetheless I'd also prefer an additional link arrow like all other linked files/folders have. Because of consistency and because the information sidebar doesn't reveal that the linked folder is a link.
