Symbolic links do have their useful place, but they can also be a real pain in the ass on occasion. For example, I regularly have to jump back and forth several times during the day between two or more folders. Using Ubuntu symlinks for this purpose just takes me deeper and deeper into an artificial directory structure with an ever increasing path length. Windows type shortcuts, which jumps directly to another folder using the normal path, would work much better in this case. Please consider this. It would help a lot.Do you mean just a .desktop file that runs nautilus and opens the required folder?I think he means some way to create a special file that when double-clicked "instructs" the *current* Nautilus window/tab to show another directory, and not open a new window/tab. I don't think Nautilus supports this right now (but I might be wrong).This is possible with .desktop files:[Desktop Entry] Name=Foo Type=Link URL="" class="moz-txt-link-freetext" href="file:///path/to/foo">file:///path/to/foo |
