Edit symlinks in Konqueror

[Yama]

The Symlink Properties Plugin adds an addtional tab to the file properties dialogue box in Konqueror [screenshot]. It allows the destination of a symbolic link to be viewed and changed. Until KDE gains a native ability to edit symbolic links, this is probably the best method without having to resort to the command line. Here is an ebuild for it:

DESCRIPTION="A plugin for the Konqueror file manager, which adds an additional tab to the file properties dialogue allowing the destination of a symbolic link to be viewed and changed."

IUSE=""

The latest version of the Symlink Properties Plugin at the time of writing is 0.11. Save the ebuild asapp-misc/symlinkprops/symlinkprops-0.11.ebuild in your PORTDIR_OVERLAY directory (configurable in /etc/make.conf). It works very well for me. If I get positive feedback I will submit it to Gentoo Bugzilla.

Edit: Added an IUSE variable to better suit the Gentoo ebuild guidelines.

Read this:

Try to fix all errors in your ebuild. e.g. IUSE="" is still missing.

Thanks EliasP. I've read the document and added an IUSE variable. I can't see anything else wrong with the ebuild. Any help would be appreciated.
