Topic: Alias in File Drawer

I keep my music spread out over different drives (too damn long a story). Since Cog looks for the user's Music folder I thought I could just put some alias to the locations into my Music folder. Nope.

This trick works with Front Row.

Re: Alias in File Drawer

There is an item in the wishlist for that (or at least there should be). Symlinks should work though (If you know the command prompt). This is definitely something that will be on the TODO for 0.07, which I'll be drawing up after some discussion.

Re: Alias in File Drawer

As soon as I hit "send" I thought of symlinks. I've only once, long ago, mssed with any. Not rocket science. Thanks for the tip.

And, again, congrats on the "new baby" and thanks for the work.

Re: Alias in File Drawer

As someone who once wrote a very long grad school paper on why humankind will never totally trust technology I feel compelled to write and let you know that tongue (Du-uh) the symlinks do indeed work.

Re: Alias in File Drawer

Yep, this is already in the wishlist.

Nice to know.
