Noticed that the shortcut file ended in .desktop What create .lnk files? Where did you get this from? Can you attach it for inspection? (In reply to Nate Graham from comment #2) > What create .lnk files? Where did you get this from? Can you attach it for > inspection? It was actually a .desktop file, and it can be created by installing a Windows software with Wine and click the option to create a shortcut. Steam also creates this .desktop shortcut, but it doesn't leave the address to the file like the attachment shows. Please attach the file Created attachment 177729 [details]

.desktop shortcut.
So this is a shortcut that leads to an app, not a folder. As such, a feature to open the folder the shortcut leads to wouldn't be applicable to it. In this case it just opens `wine` in general, not even a specific version of it that has a known parent folder.

What is the purpose of that "Caminho de trabalho" highlighted in the first attachment? It points to where the files were installed. It tells the system to `cd` to that folder before executing the command (in this case, `wine`) Sometimes this is needed for compatibility's sake. It's not the actual path that `wine` lives at. |
Created attachment 177671 [details] The system knows the path of the shortcut. I've noticed that when right-clicking this .lnk shortcut file, the Context Menu doesn't offer an option to open the folder the shorcut leads to. So I'm requesting the addition of an option that opens the folders that .lnk shortcuts leads to.
