I just bought and installed DOpus 9.1.3, and I'd really like to use its ability to create junctions and links in Vista, but I can't find the Create Link command. What gives?
The command MAKELINK would be the right thing. Parameters are
, junction, hardlink, softlink, auto
Here's a button to try. (See first post in Buttons forum for how to add it to Opus).
<?xml version="1.0"?>
<button display="both">
<label>Copy As Link...</label>
<tip>Copy selected files and folders to the Destination Lister as chosen link type</tip>
<icon1>2</icon1>
<function type="normal">
<instruction>@set LinkType = {dlgchooseS|Choose the link type to create:|Shortcut=Shortcut+Junction=Junction+HardLink=Hardlink+Softlink (SymLink)=Softlink}</instruction>
<instruction>Copy MAKELINK={$LinkType}</instruction>
</function>
</button>
I think Abr meant to say Copy MAKELINK
e.g.
Copy MAKELINK=junction
That command will take the selected item in the source folder and create a link in the destination folder that points to it.
Argh, sorry, of course i meant COPY MAKELINK=junction. thx Leo.
Ahh, I see, so I need to make one myself! Thanks!
You could just as easily set it to some of the drag-and-drop functions. I'm not sure if it was already there or was it me who made it, but I have for all files and folders drag-and-drop + alt set to : copy makelink=auto. Something similar in Drop Menu too.
Interesting! How would I add these commands to the Drop Menu? Sorry, butI am obviously a beginner at this...
To edit the drop menu, click Settings -> File Types and then (in this case) the All Files & Folders type. From there you'll find tabs for the drop menu, context menu, actions (double-click etc.) and so on.
-> options -> file types -> all files & folders -> edit -> drop menu (3rd tab) could be it, but i´m not sure, because i never used this function.
O.k., got it, thanks!
