That's a feature, not a bug :-)
yes, I know :-(. I was once tricked by this, a link removed, but from the trash can it still pointed to the data :-)
Because you have full path names, you're gonna have trouble. Since you're on the same disk, you should use relative links
I did them with Dolphin. Given my data structure it's pretty hard to make them in cli :-(
'mc' permits creation of links, or editing them later. I see options to create relative or absolute symlinks, or hardlinks. The obvious snag is that is a "text" tool, so if they are photos you see their names, not the contents. Not instantly, that is. There are GUI tools similar to 'mc', but not that powerful. I just looked at "gnome-commander", it does not seem to do links. Same thing with "krusader" - but this one does generate a tiny preview of files if you ask. -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R.
