Directory info 'real path' for junction or symbolic link ?
Hi, if we use F3 on the directory name we can see simple info like a path, size, number of files and directories. It would be nice to see the real path if the directory is a junction or a symbolic link.
Re: Directory info
The real path of a link is shown when you hover over the dir name in the file list.
You can also use a plugin like NTLinks and make a custom column view showing the targets.

Re: Directory info
I know that. There are even more ways to get the real path but I think the directory info in the lister is the right place to have such base information.Horst.Epp wrote: 2023-12-09, 09:00 UTC You can also use a plugin like NTLinks and make a custom column view showing the targets.
Re: Directory info
Of course

I like to give some hint but let the user do its part to read the help or look in the settings.

Re: Directory info
Yes, for example, my old script that jump to the symlink or shortcut path with the option to select a panel and create a tab, i.e. without the need for unnecessary manipulations with quick view, line selection, copying and going through the edit path in the panel header.
