Description Gregor Mi 2019-10-15 20:09:26 UTC
Coming from https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=412660

It would be nice if in the Properties Dialog, the target path of a symlink ("Points to:") would be easily accessible.

E.g.
- either by making the label clickable, see screenshot https://bugsfiles.kde.org/attachment.cgi?id=123050
- or by adding a "Show target" button

Great idea!

Actually making a clickable link would be a regression since that would remove your ability to edit the destination location. But I can add a button that will take you to the link's location.

I actually meant the label (which is on the left side saying "Points to:"). Maybe this is a bit unconventional. :-)

[KPropertiesDialog] provide a way of showing the target of a symlink

Summary:
FIXED-IN: 5.65

Undecided on the button. Should it be text-only displaying "Show" instead of an icon?
Or text-and-icon? Is there a better icon we could use or is this one good enough?
