Add "Link" in the Define Selection filters dialog

Post by *wanderer »

Press "+", then "Define. In that dialog, probably in the Advanced/Attributes section, it would be nice to have a new attribute "Link" or "Junction". With such an attribute, one could select all folders that are or are not junctions. This might also be useful in the Search function (which i assume is the same dialog).

Just use [tc.file type] = "reparse point" plugin rule.

Using e.g. my NTLinks plugin you can distinguish junctions and symlinks and view targets and real paths in tooltips...

Ah, nice, thanks for the tip. Unfortunately it does not work as i'd like. Why? Because i have defined Num+ to "select files only" in options! :) What a mess. It would nice to have an option to override the "select files only" setting in that dialog.

I'll try your plugin though i'm not sure it will be convenient to see such info in tooltips. Having several junctions in a folder would make the whole process a little painful. Thanks anyway.

You can use Shift+Num+ to select both files and folders.

Ah, great! That does the job perfectly! Many thanks!

Too many options and key combinations for my poor mind to remember. :)
