Description Lucia Mrenica 2018-06-08 18:17:59 UTC
If I right-click on Links on desktop it shows the same menu as on any other file. I think that menus on these files should be different. Trash icon menu shouldn't provide an option to Copy, Move, Open with text editor, compress ...
Similar applies to Home icon.

Or in other words: Icons on desktop shouldn't be just files in /home/user/desktop folder.

Isn't it at least a bit odd that Desktop icons have these options? (Copy, Move, Open with text editor, compress ...)
