Currently, on the desktop - when used as folderview - a regular folder looks like a symlinked folder. It would be helpful to distinguish these two types of items at one glance.
Support for overlays and symlinks was recently added to FolderView, ie. they have a "link" badge now as well as an italicized label. Can you check again with 5.9 please.
Checked with 5.9 => Works now. :)
