Problem with Copy FILTER MAKELINK

Help & Support
1

I'm trying to make a button that creates softlinks in another folder for selected folders and ignores any files that might be selected. The command I'm using is Copy FILTER="FoldersOnly" MAKELINK=softlink TO /links. It makes softlinks in the other folder for selected folders but also for any selected files. I've tried changing the order of the FILTER and MAKELINK arguments, but it doesn't make any difference. If I remove the MAKELINK argument altogether, it will copy the selected folders and ignore the files as expected. Is it a bug, or is there something I'm missing?

Looks like MAKELINK and FILTER cannot be combined:

Creates shortcuts to all selected files and folders.

Try

Select PATTERN=*.* TYPE=files DESELECT
Copy MAKELINK=softlink TO=/links

Thanks for the reply. I guess that's the answer:

I'll play around with the Select command as you suggested.
