(sorry for the lack of a ' in don't in the title, I ran out of space)
I wrote a small application to create symlinks for mounted drives on the desktop. However, the symlinks do not appear on the desktop itself, but they are present in the Desktop directory.
A few things I confirmed:
- The desktop directory is set to the same directory I'm making symlinks in. (~/Desktop)
- Normal files and directories appear just fine.
- The symlinks appear in the Desktop directory when browsing it with Thunar. (Haven't tried Dolphin, since I removed it.)
- I can create symlinks via console just fine. (READ EDIT)


KDE Plasma Version: 5.14.4
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.53.0
Qt Version: 5.12.0
Kernel version: 4.19.13-1-MANJARO

EDIT: Turns out this isn't the fault of my script, mounting the drives doesn't work from console as well. I'll try to work on a slightly different version using .desktop files, but it would be nice to see if there's any way to get symlinks working.
