Bug ID: 512819
Summary: Use highlighted file as source for create new symlink
Classification: Applications
Product: dolphin
Version First 23.08.5
Reported In:
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: wishlist

SUMMARY
Creating a symlink without using drag-n-drop is currently harder and slower
than it needs to be. One way to be to please grab the currently highlighted
file to use as the source of the symlink you are trying to make.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Select Create New -> Link to File or Directory
2.
3.
OBSERVED RESULT
Window opens with no source or destination for the symlink. For the source,
you need to either remember the filename or use the browser to select it, which
is annoyingly time consuming if there are many files in the source directory.
This is especially annoying if you do this often.
EXPECTED RESULT
Copy the highlighted filename into the "File or directory to link to" field.
As a bonus, allow opening another dolphin window to select the destination
folder.
Even better, access this create-link function from the top level of the context
menu.
