--- Comment #5 from Venca B Spam <vbs...@centrum.cz> --- It looks that at least the whole KTextEditor component of KF5/KDE is behaving weird - seeing from the end user perspective. Although I can see the point from the developer perspective. I looks like it always resolves symbolic links and exposes this to the user. I can understand that internally it is ok and maybe for many cases necessary. >From the user perspective it is however wrong approach. Why I thing this: Imagine my mother when I explain her,: Me: "Mom, here in your home folder e.g. /home/BestMomOnTheWorld/Documents there are all your Pie recipes." Mom: "U r great son!" ..after a while, I am at the gate leaving for holiday.. Mom is calling: "I am lost, I lost my recipes, it says something about /mnt/dataserver/mirror/raid5/diskXYZ/users/online/uuid12729837192347/Documents/best recipe on the world.txt, I believe I lost it, how can I prepare for tomorrow's party?!??" I did quick use case research and it looks that other frameworks do not propagate the resolved symlink path to the end users. Even QtCreator programmer tool properly assumes that the user wanted to not resolve the symlink in the interface. Any ideas? or am I wrong about this? -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
