Description

Problem: When files in the home folder are moved to another/sub-folder, the shortcuts on the desktop break because they point to the destination, not to the file.

In Windows, you can move the origin file wherever you want, and the shortcut on the desktop will work forever.

Please fix.

More info:

/user/file1 --------------------> /user/New Folder/file1 /desktop/shortcut_file1 -----> (broken link)

How to reproduce:

• make file in a folder

• make shortcut (symlink?)

• move initial file into another folder

• now shortcut will break because it misses the file in its original destination

What was expected:

• that the shortcut still works, even after moving the original file
