Hmm, this seems to have regressed since it was originally reported. As of KDE Frameworks 5.45, [Create New > Basic link to file or directory > enter "trash:/" as the path] will now blindly create an invalid symlink instead of even warning you. :/ Perhaps what we should really do is have one "Create link" item that's intelligent enough to figure out how to create the link irrespective of whether you specify a local path, a remote path, a web URL, a URL to a KIOSlave, or anything else that's linkable. *** Bug 330204 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** |
