--- Comment #17 from Pedro Alves <pe...@palves.net> ---
Count me in as another one wanting this in Dolphin.  reflinks are a separate
matter.  I want to be able to create hard links.  I'm a heavy command line
user, but for this use case, dropping from Dolphin to the console _just_ for
creating a hard link is painful.  Also, I think Dolphin should support
recursively hardlinking directories, just like (GNU) "cp -al" does.

Someone in the original forum mentioned that with hard links users can end up
confused, and edit a hardlinked file, thinking they are editing a copy.  Well,
that shows something else that KDE tools like kate, etc. could do -- warn that
you're editing a hard linked file (simply checkck the file's link count is >
1).  Dolphin itself could have some sort of visual indication for files that
are hard linked, like print their icon background in a different color, have a
link count column in the details info, or something.

Happy KDE user since 1.x...
