Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdebase
When creating a new link to a location, and this location is a folder, the default icon for this link should be a folder -- not a file. Steps to reproduce: 1: Right click on the desktop. 2: Create New... > Link to location (URL) 3: Enter a location (e.g. /tmp) and press OK. 4: Observe that the icon for this link looks like a file even though it is a link to a folder. KDE have a default folder for folders. Solution: When a user creates a new link, check if the link target is a directory. If so, use "Icon=folder" in the .desktop-file in stead of "Icon=unknown", which is the current behavior. Please let me know if you need screenshots that illustrate the problem. ** Affects: kdebase (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: Unconfirmed -- Default icon for link to folders could be better https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/117552 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is the bug contact for Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
