[Bug 1873699] [NEW] File link with invalid shows up as an existing directory and non existing directory

[bradleesargent]

Public bug reported:

I had created a link in dolphin:

/home/bradlee/Downloads

to a path to my windows partition:

/media/bradlee/1C9CE9359CE909DA/Users/bradl/OneDrive/Downloads/
However, after reinstalling version 20.04 beta, that link was no longer there since I reformatted the / partition during my installation of the beta version of the software.

So when I opened dolphin, it shows that I have a folder named Downloads when I tried to create it.
But when I clicked on the path that was in my Places, 
/home/bradlee/Downloads
it says it doesn't exist.
There is a file named
Downloads
But it is of type "unknown" and when I click on it's properties, then I see it is of type unknown.
When I see the path that it points to, that path no longer exists since that partition is no longer mounted.
