Description Stefan Hamminga 2022-12-04 16:06:18 UTC 
SUMMARY

The Places panel in Dolphin won't accept symlinks. This goes against the idea of a link being treated mostly transparent.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE

Drag a symbolic link to a folder to the Places panel

OBSERVED RESULT

Error message "Only folders can be added to the Places panel"

EXPECTED RESULT

Folder added to Places panel (dereference link for target, use link name for presentation)

Makes sense to me.
