Bug ID: 448132
Summary: cannot unfold directory, that only contains links to
other directories
Product: gwenview
Version: 21.08.1
Platform: Ubuntu Packages
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: gwenview-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: private_l...@yahoo.com
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
Treeview-sidebar of gwenview does not initially allow unfolding, if only links
to folders are present.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. run command:
mkdir -p test/real/sub test/copy ; ln -s ../real/sub test/copy/sub-link ;
gwenview test/real &> /dev/null ; rm -rf test
2. compare to dolphin:
mkdir -p test/real/sub test/copy ; ln -s ../real/sub test/copy/sub-link ;
dolphin test/real &> /dev/null ; rm -rf test
3. check out attached screencast
OBSERVED RESULT
Directory "copy" has no folding indicator. It only corrects, once the sub-link
is opened.
EXPECTED RESULT
Same as Dolphin, Gwenview shall consider links to directories as indicator,
that a directory can be unfolded.
SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS
Betriebssystem: Kubuntu 21.10
KDE-Plasma-Version: 5.22.5
KDE-Frameworks-Version: 5.86.0
Qt-Version: 5.15.2
Kernel-Version: 5.13.0-22-generic (64-bit)

Speicher: 15,5 GiB Arbeitsspeicher
Grafikprozessor: Mesa DRI Intel® HD Graphics 4600
ADDITIONAL INFORMATION
Trying to figure out, if a directory contains subdirectories and therefore
should be unfoldable is in itself nice. Dolphin always shows the folding
indicator, only to be disappointed on stumbling over a leave of the tree, where
it is not possible to unfold. But Gwenview shall do it correctly considering
symbolic links, as it is so easy, to create links even from within Gwenview by
drag&drop.
Symbolic links might become stale, if the target was moved/renamed/deleted. In
that case "find -type l -xtype d" will not pick them up any more - so it is
impossible to unfold those broken links and they are henceforth not part of the
tree-structure anymore.
Hard links for folders are discouraged, so I suppose, we don't need to consider
those.
