Description Alexander Shchadilov 2020-08-04 15:49:11 UTC 
SUMMARY
If a user tries to open a symlink after it's target was deleted a wrong error message appears (a text label shows a path to a symlink where a path to a target is expected).

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. touch target
2. ln -s target link
3. rm target
4. Open Home directory in Dolphin.
5. Try to open "link" file with Dolphin.

OBSERVED RESULT
Error message is shown: "Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder <path_to_link> does not exist", where <path_to_link> is a path that references a symlink created in step 2.

EXPECTED RESULT
Error message is shown: "Unable to run the command specified. The file or folder <path_to_target> does not exist", where <path_to_target> is a path that references a file created in step 1.
