It's most likely because you are using very old versions. I created, in /tmp/demo, these for testing: 0664 .rw-rw-r-- 0 john john 13 Mar 09:37 file_a 0777 lrwxrwxrwx - john john 13 Mar 09:38 file_b -> ./file_a 0777 lrwxrwxrwx - john john 13 Mar 09:39 link-to-file -> ./file_a Both file_b and link-to-file,when hovered, show in Dolphin's status bar: file_b (Empty document, Link to ./file_a) link-to-file (Empty document, Link to ./file_a) So to me, the status bar show the right think, even explaining that the file is a symbolic link and pointing to a file that it's in the same folder. Tested on Plasma 6.3.2 (Wayland) on Debian 13 (Trixie) - unstable repository. I'm afraid Dolphin 23.08.5 is unfortunately no longer eligible for support or maintenance from KDE. KDE projects typically move quickly, and bugs in one version are often fixed in the next one. Please update to Dolphin 24.12.3 as soon as your distribution offers it to you, or use other application distribution methods such as Flathub. If you need support for Dolphin 23.08.5, please contact your distribution, who bears the responsibility of providing support for older software in their "long-term support" releases. If this issue is still reproducible in Dolphin 24.12.3, feel free to re-open this bug report. Thanks for understanding! |

Open /tmp/demo in Dolphin and select the link OBSERVED RESULT Dolphin status bar displays "Link to file file:///tmp/demo/link-to-file" EXPECTED RESULT It should display "Link to file file_a" SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: openSUSE Leap 15.6 KDE Plasma Version: 5.27.11 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.115.0 Qt Version: 5.15.12 Kernel Version: 6.4.0-150600.23.33-default (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
