           Summary: detect symbolic links in pwd when creating new tab
           Product: konsole
           Version: 2.5
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: wishlist
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: konsole-devel at kde.org
        ReportedBy: cberzan at gmail.com


Version:           2.5 (using KDE 4.4.4) 
OS:                Linux

I often have a deeply nested directory (~/abc/2010/summer/project123) symlinked
to something shorter (~/now). If I cd ~/now in Konsole and then create a new
tab, the new tab starts in the expanded (real) directory
~/abc/2010/summer/project123.  It would be really great if Konsole could detect
the symbolic link, and create the new tab in the same directory (~/now).

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
cd /tmp
mkdir -p deeply/nested/dir
ln -s deeply/nested/dir short
cd short
<Ctrl+Shift+N>

Actual Results:  
new tab is created in /tmp/deeply/nested/dir

Expected Results:  
new tab would ideally be created in /tmp/short
