            Bug ID: 15016
           Summary: Strange Path shown in Thunar after using a link. It
                    shows how I got there rather than the Location of the
                    File
    Classification: Xfce Core
           Product: Thunar
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: Other
                OS: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: Medium

  Target Milestone: 1.8.3

This question pertains to Xubuntu 16.04.3 LTS with current kernel
4.4.0-116-generic x86_64. Thunar has Version 1.6.11 (the one packaged to
Xubuntu 16.04).

I have made a link to the frequently used public account of another user.

I put this link on my desktop (in a German Xubuntu: Senden an Desktop).

When I use this link, a new Thunar window opens and shows the way from my
desktop to that place: The path shown tells about the way how I got there. I
would prefer if it would show _the description from the root in the file system
to my file (the UNC path)_, rather than the way how I got there using my
desktop link.

If use Ctl-C after this on a file, it depends on the way how I use the
clipboard then. If I paste it to a mousepad-window or Shift-paste it to a
LibreOffice document, the path to the file gets pasted, but with that strange
deviation via my desktop link, i.e. the pasted path contains the way how I got
there rather than the shortest way to it!

*How can I let Thunar fetch me the UNC path to my pointed-to file?*
