Couly you please add one field (or multiple fields/units) to display all the file names of a hard linked file. I found one example here: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/oldnewthing/archive/2011/07/20/10188033.aspx

tbeu, thanks for idea, I've added such feature, please test it.

NTLinks 1.5.2.180 32/64

You can see all hardlinks in single string or get them one by one. Plugin allows to return first 10 items (with indexes 0-9), I think it is enough.

MVV, thanks for the great feature.
It works on Windows7 (TC8B17a x64 and 7.56a).
Is it possible to have a custom separator for file names? LineFeed (\n) separator would be great for tooltips (each file name in the new row).

Thanks for the tip!
Is there a way to display the size of symbolic link target file?
tc.size displays 0 bytes for symbolic link size, and I can't find a way to display target file size in the tooltips.

I think you can't. Symbolic links for files always have zero size, also their attributes may be outdated when you sync folders (therefore I don't use them). However hardlinks may have outdated dates too.

I did some search how to get target file size. There is a flag in CreateFile function responsible for symlink processing. If dwFlagsAndAttributes param contains FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT value, functions GetFileSize, GetFileSizeEx, GetFileInformationByHandle, GetFileInformationByHandleEx,... return symbolic link size - 0 bytes. If file is open without FILE_FLAG_OPEN_REPARSE_POINT value, functions return target file size > 0 bytes. Could you please check this, and if it works, add another field with target file size?

I thought about it, but I was too lazy to add field with such ammount of units (tc.size provides 8 units - bytes, kbytes, Mbytes, Gbytes and floating ones). Maybe I'll add such field with only integral units.

Well, I found extra compact way to work with units (B, KB, MB, GB). Very Happy

Thanks!
It works, but only for x86.
wdx_NTLinks_1.5.2.190.zip contains an old version of NTLinks.wdx64, v1.5.2.160. Surprised

MVV · Posted: Sun Feb 05, 2012 1:04 am Post subject:

Well, sorry. Smile

I'm using only TCx86 usually (but I have 64-bit versions for tests), so didn't notice that.

Package is updated.

Added on Feb 06 2012:

New version is out, a pair of bugs was fixed.

NTLinks 1.5.3.200 32/64
* wrong real path for file symlinks
* full target was shown instead of relative one sometimes

Is it possible to set HLNK_Count to zero if symlink/junction is not valid (RP_IsValid=No) ?
Or HLNK_Count=0 holds different information?

MVV · Posted: Mon Feb 06, 2012 11:27 pm Post subject:

Theese are completely different things. Number of hardlinks is a number of folder entries, and it cannot be less than 1. Every reparse point is a separate file system object and it also has folder entry, it is not correct to mix hardlinks and reparse points.

Another pair of bugs fixed.

NTLinks 1.5.3.214 (changes since 1.5.3.200):
* improved junction detection if path starts with volume GUID
* ANSI to Unicode conversion bug in non-Unicode functions (introduced in 1.5.0.108)

Wow, symlink file target resolution works on XP too even though XP doesn't support file symlinks. That's very cool! Thank you for this update.

Edit: However, RP_IsValid returns Yes on XP for file symlinks. Shouldn't it return No instead (and still resolve the symlink, since your plugin can?)
