Path shown after opening a symlink to a directory
Status:
RESOLVED: MOVED
Severity:
enhancement

Description Charles 2011-06-18 16:24:07 CEST
It would be useful if Thunar could a) be configured to show the actual path instead of the symlinked path and maybe b) have a button to switch between showing actual and symlinked paths.

An example may clarify. If user c has a /home/c/Templates symlink to /home/c/d/Templates, when they click on /home/c/Templates, Thunar displays /home/c/Templates.  If the enhancement were implemented, Thunar could be configured toinstead display the actual path, /home/c/d/Templates.

This is equivalent to the difference between what bash displays using pwd and using pwd -P.

On XFCE 4.10 / Thunar 1.6.3
That bug remains.

Thunar does not shows the correct path when a shortcut to a directory is opened.
And then if you create another shortcut from that directory, this new created shortcut will contain a bad path.
