            Bug ID: 15401
           Summary: Shortcuts on Desktop break after original file is
                    moved to another folder.
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium
         Component: Desktop
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]
  Target Milestone: 1.8.5

Problem: When files in the home folder are moved to another/sub-folder, the
shortcuts on the desktop break because they point to the destination, not to
the file.

In Windows, you can move the origin file wherever you want, and the shortcut on
the desktop will work forever. 

Please fix.

More info:

/user/file1   -------------------->    /user/New Folder/file1 
/desktop/shortcut_file1 ----->   (broken link)

How to reproduce: 
- make file in a folder
- make shortcut (symlink?)
- move initial file into another folder

- now shortcut will break because it misses the file in its original
destination


What was expected: 
- that the shortcut still works, even after moving the original file
