In ROSA Linux 2012.1 with KDE 4.9.4 popup menu option "Show Original File" pass wrong directory path to file manager while in Konqueror it works korrectly. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Create a symbolic link with absolute path to some file on desktop. 2. Right click on it in folderview. 3. Select "Show Original File". Actual Results: File manager assotiated with inode/directory opened with error message "The file or folder /home/username/Desktop<path from root here> does not exist." Expected Results: File manager opened displaying directory containing original file. The same menu option in Konqueror works as expected, the bug is specific for folderview.
Aha, this is because the desktop:/ kioslave is used by default in folderview (when you select Show Desktop" on the Location config page in the folderview settings), and it most probably appends the desktop path during this operation mistakenly. OK, I will see if this is reproducable, thank you for the report.
I can not reproduce this with the following steps: set desktop layout to "Folder View" touch ~/Desktop/foo.txt ln -s ~/Desktop/foo.txt ~/Desktop/bar.txt right-click foo.txt on the desktop no "Show Original File" menu entry is present. This is most probably a ROSA addition, please file a bug in the ROSA bug tracker.
That's wrong. You should click on bar.txt to see this item, not foo.txt. BTW I'm a ROSA maintainer and I have asked our developers if they changed something in folderview or libkonq before posting this bug here. In fact. I've just described bug already reported at ROSA bugzilla: http://bugs.rosalinux.ru/show_bug.cgi?id=977.
Sorry, one more addition. This menu item can be hidden because both link and target file are placed in the same directory. Try to create symlink for file somewhere outside ~/Desktop.
I'd like to clarify: Did you create the symbolic link with the "ln-s" command (a symbolic link in the UNIX sense) or did you use a .desktop file (iirc sometimes KDE creates .desktop files instead of real symbolic links)? >I have asked our developers if they changed something in folderview or libkonq May I ask what the answer was? Has anything been changed by the rosa team? Anyway, I guess I know here the problem is, now I need to reproduce the bug to start fixing it.

It was a symbolic link. You may try to create it with this commands (note that target file must be not in ~/Desktop); $ touch ~/foo $ ln -s ~/foo ~/Desktop/foo > > >I have asked our developers if they changed something in folderview or libkonq > > May I ask what the answer was? Has anything been changed by the rosa team? They told me that only Dolphin code was changed. You cat take a look at patches here: https://abf.rosalinux.ru/import/kdebase4/tree/rosa2012.1

Still can't reproduce the existence of the "Show Original File" menu item in Plasma 5.11. We should add one.
