Hardlink creation failed

Hi! I tried to create a HARDLINK of this directory:

F:\Users\Peter\Documents\TOWeb Sites\defaultV5\Preview

in:

C:\xampp\htdocs

by dragging the Preview folder above from the Lister Left with the right mouse button to the htdocs directory in Lister Right, then context menu: Create Hard link here.

I got this error message:

Windows 7 x64 SP1
Opus: 10.5.5.0 x64

So how can I create this hardlink?

Making Links and Junctions:


Ok, so how can I create a JUNCTION of this folder? Is this directly supported in DOpus?

Ok, found it myself:

cmd -> MKLINK /J towebpreview "F:\Users\Peter\Documents\TOWeb Sites\defaultV5\Preview"

Opus can create all the things discussed on that page. (The manual wouldn't spend time detailing things Opus can't do, after all.)

Using the DOS mklink command isn't a good idea as you won't get feedback on errors.

See the Copy command's MAKELINK argument for the syntax to doing it using an Opus command. You just need to change "hardlink" to "junction" in the command you've already added for creating hardlinks. (That command is not in any context menu by default, so it must be something you added yourself. The command to create junctions is almost the same, just one word different, so it should be easy to set up based on what you already have.)

Leo, thanks for the hint and the link!
