Hallo 

Konquerror lists:
foldername 12.0kB Folder 07.05.2008 10:31 user group lxwr-xr-x ../../folder/subfolder

Dolphin lists:
foldername 241 items Folder 07.05.2008 10:31 user group dxwr-xr-x 

There is no sine of the symbolic link an I can't see the target at all.

both tooltip and statusbar message (on mouse over) show that it is a link to a folder.
Maybe it could be added on information panel too.

Dolphin does not sing links of folders. "new zealand" is a link.

Hallo

simply untrue! 

There is no comment about the link in the status bar at all. (See attachment) And tooltip, I've never ever seen a tooltip in dolphin.

OK, I can find the link-target in the Properties. 

But a column with the target would be brilliant. 

The wrong listing of the attributes ("l" in place of "d") just a silly mistake. No other app does this mistake.

How I've already wrote, the message in status bar appear ONLY on mouse over. You can enable tooltips from the dolphin settings.

I confirm that the permission column show the permission of the target file and not of the link... but how you should know, links inherits permissions from the target file, so this is not an error. Moreover (with current trunk) the file icon is different from others and clearly display that the file is a link (small "link" icon over the file icon and the text on that line is in italic).

Using KDE 4.1.00 (KDE 4.1.0) (KDEmod) in ArchLinux i686

Should this bug report be marked as fixed ?

I can see the black "link" icon above the link to folder and its italic text. And when you hover that that folder, the statusbar will say that folder is a link to another folder.

The point is how linked directory permission are printed:
  d*********
instead of
  l*********

While regular file permissions of links display:
  l*********

I don't know if it is by choice or if it is a bug.

SVN commit 927932 by dfaure:

Show 'l' for symlinks to directories, not 'd' (the order of the tests was wrong).
