Re: Lister (F3) on a junction could also show the destination of the junction
I would rather vote for showing junction destination as a tooltip on the list when you hover a junction with a mouse. There is already overlay icon and <LNK> info on the list there, so it's better to gather all info in one place.
Lister shows similar info as Ctrl+L. In both cases there is no direct info that TC displays data for a directory so I think it's not a good place for info about junction. The only reason for using F3 to me is easy copy-and-paste. But if you want to see such an info in Lister, it should be available with Ctrl+L, too.
Info about junction may be also available in the context menu and in a custom column, if it's provided by the system or by any plugin. I prefer the first method, the latter one is a waste of space.

If you hover over a junction this info is already displayed without loosing space on the display.

What OS, what TC version, what TC plugins or shell extensions? There is no such info in when running clean TC in Windows XP.

Look into my signature to see all actual info.
Even FreeCommander provides such info without anything special.
I don't use XP since Windows 7 was available so it may not work in this outdated OS.
Edit: I found the plugin which does the job, its NL_Info, Version 1.20

That was my trigger to suggest it as a useful TC addition. Lister already shows the directory name and the total size, etc. I don't mind it being added in CTRL+L or anywhere else, but i think the most useful place to put it would be the Lister window, for the simple reason that it can be copied to clipboard.
