NTFS Links 1.1.0

Posted by on February 6, 2006 3 comments

An update of NTFS Links is available, some shell operations on soft linked directories acquired new options:

  • An option to create move a soft link when a soft linked directory is being moved
  • An option to create a soft link when a directory is being copied
  • An option to copy a soft link when a soft linked directory is being copied
  • An option to delete link when a soft linked directory is being deleted

Great news is that extensions apply also on clipboard operations, that is you can copy/paste directory and have a prompt to create a soft link (when possible). New windows are optional and should not be annoying:
