Hi listmates,

The dolphin detailed view column "Link destination" contains the text No destination.

If I want to know if there is a link in a directory I have read first many many times "No destination".

To my opinion, if there is nothing there should be nothing in the column. Not like below: Empty line Empty line Empty line -- Hans de Faber Hello listmate,

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 ;-)

And post the screenshot on picpaste.com, and provide the link to it here, so that we can all look at it.

BC AS you wish

To my opinion, if there is nothing there should be nothing in the column. Not like below: Empty line Empty line Empty line 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 you do not like the present display, there is always bugzilla: http://bugzilla.novell.com.

If enough other users indicate the same disposition, perhaps the coder will change the display or make it configurable.

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.

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.
