            Bug ID: 456355
           Summary: Hitting "Points to" button resolves path wrong from
                    desktop link
           Product: frameworks-kio
           Version: git master
          Platform: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: REPORTED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: NOR
         Component: Properties dialog
          Assignee: kio-bugs-n...@kde.org
          Reporter: yer...@protonmail.com
                CC: kdelibs-b...@kde.org
  Target Milestone: ---

SUMMARY

Currently when "Points to" button in desktop link properties is clicked the
resolvedTargetLocation for example
QUrl("desktop:/home/yerrey/Pictures/avatar.png") is resolved into
"/home/yerrey/Desktop/home/yerrey/Pictures/avatar.png" which cannot be found. 

The following change seems to fix the issue, but I'm not too familiar with KIO
code to know if this is the correct solution or misses some edge cases I'm
unaware of.

https://invent.kde.org/yerrey/kio/-/commit/ac516f38200557abab5a44f739c1bcc13e3ce061

With this the resolvedTargetLocation is correctly
QUrl("file:///home/yerrey/Pictures/avatar.png") . 

STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Drag a file to your desktop, and choose "Link"
2. On your desktop, open the properties of the link
3. On the "Points to" line, hit the button to highlight the file in Dolphin

OBSERVED RESULT
The path cannot be found as it has prepended the correct path with Desktop
path.

EXPECTED RESULT
Correct file is highlighted.

SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
