Version: (using KDE 4.3.3) OS: Linux Installed from: Compiled From Sources Dolphin should provide the following functions for symlinks: * Open source folder * Copy source file It could be implemented as a hole submenu of the "file context menu" with actions on the source file.
Workaround: run readlink '-f' (drag the icon here)
what means the workaround ??
(In reply to comment #2) > what means the workaround ?? If you follow the workaround procedure you will get the absolute path to the file.
ahh got it . . . didn't know readlink !! easier it is to install midnight commander "mc" and set in the copy dialogue "follow links" . . . so it's without any bash(ing) ;-) but the functionality within dolphin would be more than nice . . .
Resetting assignee to default as per bug #305719
Git commit 86f4fcb8cd574f6d886627fc5e01c9edfc84e977 by Roman Inflianskas. Committed on 14/03/2018 at 19:02. Pushed by romaninflianskas into branch 'master'. Add "Open symlink destination folder" into symlink's context menu Summary: This is not complete. I'm wondering about "Open symlink destination folder in new tab/window". Feature wants also "Copy symlink destination". I dislike this, because then it's good to have "Cut symlink destination" and that's too much.
