2. Instead of 'Locat

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

In any case, even if you a creating link to file, not to folder, when
you choose Location in Create Launcher it should automatically put
'file://' in the path, not requiring any user to know that he/she needs
