--- Comment #9 from Gregor Mi <codestr...@posteo.org> --- > Yes, but if you deliberately make a symlink on your desktop that's probably > what you want to "work with directly". Currently, the menu item of the drop menu is called "Link" and there is no other choice. I wouldn't call that "deliberate". ;-) I guess, most of the symlinks on people's desktops are there because there is no other (obvious) choice (or did I miss it?). In my opinion the user needs some more guidance here. For example, naming the item actually "Symlink" instead of generically "Link". > > 3) If 2) is true, symlinks might be the wrong concept to use to create > > shortcuts on the desktop.

I'll do that. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
