Operation of link creation in FileCommander doesn't match help text
Issue #666
resolved
The current help text in the setup screen says:
2: New symlink with file name.
3: New symlink with folder name.
But the descriptions aren't much like what the buttons actually do.
- "2" can create a symbolic link to either a file or directory, and the user is asked to enter a name for the new link. The popup box to enter the name has no pre-fill.
- "3" can only create a symbolic link to a directory, but it has the same name (in the other directory) as the original directory.
I think that either
- "2" should be left as it is, and "3" should be changed so that it can create symbolic links to either files or directories, or
- "3" should be removed, and the popup box to name the link be pre-filled with the name of the file being linked to.
I tend to favour the second approach.
The help text, should, of course, be changed to reflect what the buttons actually do.

Fix bug
#666: Operation of link creation in FileCommander doesn't match help textThe action on "2" has been changed to open a popup box to name the link, pre-filled with the name of the file being linked to, but editable.
The action on "3" has been removed. "3" may later operate a file information screen.
