Description paul.dallas.sv1ui 2018-02-14 19:37:19 UTC 
Could a selector be added in Dolphin Preferences to allow the user to choose whether the soft links it creates are absolute or relative?
This should be fairly straightforward to implement and a HUGE help for people like me who use a lot of linked data.
Thank you! P.D.

Is there any news on this? I also would love to have this feature (it is useful to preserve links when moving or copy/pasting folders), I guess it should be fairly easy to add an option in the dropdown menu. For now, a workaround is to install `symlinks`, and run `symlink -cr .` in the folder after copy/pasting the links, but it's not really practical.
