Description Pandu Rao 2004-04-09 21:18:24 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.2.1)
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages
OS:          Linux

If I replace bookmarks.xml with a symlink to say "~/stuff/bookmarks.xml" and then add a bookmark, the symlink is gone and in its place is a file called bookmarks.xml.

Please consider allowing bookmarks.xml to be a symlink.

What bookmarks file are you talking about? The FileSelector plugin uses a file called fsbookmarks.xml (typically found at ~/.kde/share/apps/kdevfileselector/), is that the one you mean?

(The bookmarks plugin does not use the bookmarks.xml file. Reassigning to 'general' for the moment.)

Comment 2 Pandu Rao 2004-04-09 21:36:52 UTC

I'm referring to Konqueror's bookmarks file:
~/.kde/share/apps/konqueror/bookmarks.xml

I thought you might be.. Reassigning to the 'konqueror' component. This has nothing to do with KDevelop.

It works for me in kde4 trunk r813735, allowing me to use a symlink to bookmarks.xml.
In fact, it creates the .bak file of the file linked.

i cant reproduce with trunk rev 824808 either, so i will close this bug with worksforme, if you encounter it again in kde4.1 beta2 or later, feel free to reopen.
