Hi, when I drag and drop files somewhere, I can choose to create a link... which gives me a soft link... can I somehow get Konq to make hard links as well? Johannes -- Powered by SuSE 7.3 - KDE 2.2.1 - KMail 1.3.1 Version Info: Linux 2.4.10-4GB

No, this is AFAIK not possible - when using hard links instead of symbolic links, Konqueror would need to additionally differenciate between files and directories, since you cannot create hard links to directories.

How do I create a large number of hardlinks easily otherwise? Problem is this: I have a large number of mp3-files (I'm currently ripping my CDs to my home server...) in two categories (subfolders) one for complete Albums and one for subdirs by Interpret... now I'd like to put hardlinks in those Interpret-subdirs, to all the songs of that same Interprets Album-directories... did that stammering get my message to anybody out there? ;) As you can see that there will be quite some hardlinks to be constructed and I thought it would've been nice to do that in konq by drag&drop...

Why do you want hardlinks instead of "soft", or "symbolic" links? The latter, despite it being a command line option of ln due to historic reasons, is more commonly used.

which is quite true, of course... but those directories are exported via samba to a number of losedows machines... symlinks seem not to be exported at all.. and hardlinks being just normal references to the actual data look exported just like a normal file that you can drag&drop to winamp... Johannes PS: maybe there's a samba option to have symlinks converted and exported? But I didn't find it in the usual places nor in any of my books... :( (well, maybe I'm being really blind again?) -- Powered by SuSE 7.3 - KDE 2.2.1 - KMail 1.3.1 Version Info: Linux 2.4.10-4GB

I use swat in samba 2.2.2 and there is the option you are looking for. IIRC it's "follow symlinks" Praise

that's not exactly my problem... I had that set already in my quest to accomplish this, but symlinks just do not show on the win95 machines... they are simply not visible... Johannes -- Powered by SuSE 7.3 - KDE 2.2.1 - KMail 1.3.1 Version Info: Linux 2.4.10-4GB

Johannes That's very strange. I use them with Win98 and there is no problem. They are shown also if I have disabled that feature. I really do not know what could be the problem, try on the samba mailing list.
