Description Gregor Mi 2017-08-10 18:22:46 UTC 
When I use the menu right click > New > Link to address (URL) and select a folder then a desktop file is created with following content:

[Desktop Entry]
Icon=folder
Type=Link
URL[$e]=file://$HOME/folder1

The icon of this desktop entry looks exactly the same as a regular folder. It would be nice if one could see at one glance (maybe by using a little overlay icon) that it is not a regular folder.

Not sure if desktop files of Type=Link should get the emblem-link overlay like symlinks do? Re-assigning to KIO which handles this.
