My very large drive for photography is finally full, so i have to make links of the new folders pointing to that drive. But in the description fields of regular links or junctions, only the target paths are shown in those columns. Is there a way, to get the descriptions being displayed anyway?
You can set the description of the link itself and it will then show up.
(Not sure if the same is true for junctions off the top of my head, but it's worth trying, if you are using them instead.)
That works, indeed. The target/path part will still be displayed after the description, but that's acceptable. Thanks! And yes, it's the same with junctions, no difference so far.
Using the User Description column may be what you want.
Also see Preferences / Miscellaneous / Advanced: desc_show_info.
Yes, that's much better. Changed desc_show_info, too. Great, thank you!
