[Gimp-developer] [Suggestion] Windows .lnk shortcuts

Hello guys! Gimp is a GREAT program, not only for Linux but also for 
Windows, and I'm loving it. However I have a suggestion:

Sometimes on Windows Explorer I create the windows version of "Symbolic 
Links", the Shortcuts, which are redirects to, e.g., another folder. So 
if I have e.g. C:\Test\Gimp, "Gimp" can be a shortcut to something like 
D:\Gimp . Windows Explorer makes it as an .lnk file. However, Gimp does 
not recognize it when using the open/save menu and say it's an "invalid 
file" rather than following the shortcut to its destination folder. 
Although I have to recognize that it's a very low priority issue, could 
be nice to see it implemented on new versions.

Regards,
