Unable to navigate with symlinks
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 UTC
If I have symlink to directory, and I enter into this directory through symlink, and use "Up" button, then I'm not back in the symlink's parent directory but in parent of real directory. The "Location" shows the real directory, not the symlinked one. This also makes confusion. As in my example: you are in "/home/ala" and go to "sample". After that nautilus shows in "Location": /home/olaf/test, but the user expects /home/ala/sample. Below is example: Directory: /home/olaf/test symlink: /home/ala/sample -> /home/olaf/test I start in /home I go to "ala" I am in /home/ala I go to sample And nautilus shows that I am: /home/olaf/test If I push "Up" button I go to /home/olaf. I want nautilus to show /home/ala/sample and if push "Up" to go to /home/ala Users get crazy when they see /mnt/sda5/vol7/... and they expected to be in /home/projects/.....
