Description Ralf Jung 2022-11-10 19:21:49 UTC 
SUMMARY

My `~/Downloads` is a symlink to `~/Desktop` (because some applications don't follow XDG and just always put their stuff in `~/Downloads`).

However when I hover over it in Dolphin, it prints in the status bar:
"Downloads (folder, link to file:///home/r/Downloads)"
which is clearly wrong, it should say "link to file:///home/r/Desktop"

I was just about to report the same bug for 22.12.0 (KDE Neon 5.26, 22.04).
This is 100% reproducible for me. Please check.
Thank you!

This bug is not limited to folder symlinks, but all relative symlinks:

1. touch a
2. ln -s a b
3. hover over b and it says "file:///home/jin/b"
