Description Paolo Borelli 2002-01-08 18:05:50 UTC 
I know the target of a symlink can be viewed checking the properties of 
it, but I think it would be useful to see the targets of symbolic links 
displayed in the status bar at the bottom of the screen when you select 
one.
Comment 1 Zack Cerza 2004-08-11 18:28:11 UTC 
I agree with this, though a tooltip might be better.
Comment 2 Marc O'Morain 2004-09-30 21:51:58 UTC 
Would showing the full path to the target of the link break the spatial model?
Comment 3 William Jon McCann 2012-08-24 20:21:16 UTC 
Paolo, have a patch for this?
Comment 4 Paolo Borelli 2012-08-24 20:39:25 UTC 
I don't have a patch... I do not really think this is needed anymore and in ten years it didn't get any duplicate.
