It would be nice if you provided the steps to replicate or a screen shot of the issue so we can see the path. Jonzn4suse ;-) -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I guess that is a *personal* preference and the coder perferred actually indicating that there was *no* link, ie: no destination. Just guessing, I would suppose that most users have never selected to view that column. I have not but I use mostly the cl. And most directories contain few links.

If enough other users indicate the same disposition, perhaps the coder will change the display or make it configurable. gud luk, -- (paka)Patrick Shanahan Plainfield, Indiana, USA HOG # US1244711 http://wahoo.no-ip.org Photo Album: http://wahoo.no-ip.org/gallery2 http://en.opensuse.org openSUSE Community Member Registered Linux User #207535 @ http://linuxcounter.net -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

gud luk,
I think that Dolphin, and the author/maintainer, is doing exactly what the term "Link Destination" is all about: if there is no symlink then there is No Destination to be shown. However, find an actual symlink entry and it shows the correct Destination. I just tried it. And if there was a blank line shown in that field then the cry would be "Is there something wrong with Dolphin? it keeps showing an empty line where the Destination ought to be" :-) .

This behaviour (nnnn X no destination) is new since V2.0. It downgrades the readability of this column. It is non information. JF -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse-kde+unsubscribe@opensuse.org To contact the owner, e-mail: opensuse-kde+owner@opensuse.org

I have never used that column so accept what you state. Furthermore, I almost never use Dolphin but use mc (Midnight Commander) which shows me everything that I need to know (and then some!) as well as doing everything I need to be done with directories and files. mc - the Swiss Knife of file management.
