New enlightenment 18 setup for new user.
Navigate to Desktop dir, you will see three files: Home, Root, and Temp.
None of these will work when clicked on because the path "/home/username/Desktop" is prepended to the file url (these are .desktop files).
I get the same behavior when I click on symlinks to dirs. If I symlink /tmp to /homr/username/roottmp and navigate to Home, click on roottmp, "/home/username/" is prepended to "roothome".
Other file managers are working fine, I use MC and Sunflower.
If anyone else is having this problem I'd like to here from you, especially if you have any idea what is happening.
TIA

UPDATE:
I found a workaround for this issue, not a fix. EFM doesn't like directory links that are not relative links. It doesn't seem to mind file links that are not relative though. I changed my symlinks to relative symlinks by using the command "ln -sr" instead of "ln -s". Then EFM has no problem with the links. I also had to modify the .desktop link files so that they used relative paths in the url= line. Of course, MC doesn't do that when it creates symlinks, so it's strickly a terminology thing. I don't use EFM much really, mostly for a quick overview of images or videos. It works well for that use. Unfortunately, it has other issues too, one of which is it doesn't update the files list after a move or paste.
