Hmmm, I've always found it messy to create "Shortcuts" to folders using nautilus.
For example, I like to have a "shortcut" to my home folder or to "Filesystem" on the desktop... I can middle-drag the folder there, and get a link.. or type ln -s [shortcut] [folder] But then I have a link, so when I double click to open it will show as: "/home/username/Desktop/[Name of Link to Homefolder]" instead of "/home/username" Now, what I've found is that you can make a "Launcher" that points to nautilus [address of folder] then you can manually find an icon... Which brings me to the main problem with this: The icons FFS!! Finding an icon has got to be the worst implemented part of the GNOME DE... all the best, hope someone has a look at this bug sometime. -- nautilus "create launcher" can't create links to directories https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/38230 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
