Description Tobias Klein 2009-11-18 03:33:35 UTC
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)
Comment 2 D.Ros 2010-05-26 06:22:43 UTC

> what means the workaround ??

If you follow the workaround procedure you will get the absolute path to the file.
Comment 4 D.Ros 2010-05-26 15:04:34 UTC
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 . . .

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.
