Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
[Using 22.20.0200]
How do I configure a color filter for symbolic links, but NOT mount points? The filter I have set up for mount points is also rendering for symbolic links which I want to see differently.

Maybe
prop:#LinkTarget:*:*>000000,00EE00

Works fine here for symlinks on local drives

Re: Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
attr:junction ?
Re: Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
That doesn't target normal symbolic links

Re: Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
Still can't get this to work, even when it's the very first filter in the list. I created the symbolic link with mklink /D and the target resides on on a different drive/partition.
Is there some spacing required?

mklink /d
is different from creating a normal symlink^^A drive mounted to a folder has e.g.:
Code: Select all
#JunctionTarget = Volume{1f5e6bcf-1494-11ec-9aff-b42e993d4559}\
mklink /d
has just the full path for that key: Code: Select all
#JunctionTarget = E:\videos
Code: Select all
prop:#JunctionTarget:*:*>000000,00EE00
you have to move the entry from here above the entry from the other thread or think about a different solution for the other one...

Re: Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
Not sure what you mean by "normal symlink". I am using mklink to create a BSD Unix-style symbolic link, as opposed to an old Unix-style hard link. (The latter requires the /H option.) I'm doing this in Windows of course, not Unix, and not in any Unix shell. Just the basic Command Prompt. I am also making a symbolic link to a directory, not to a file, using the /D option. I am NOT mounting an external drive under a folder (which I use Disk Administrator to do.); that was the subject of my other thread.
The directory is C:\Users\Jerry\AppData\Local\Google which I have relocated to another partition on the same physical drive. The original mklink command (with command prompt) was:
Code: Select all
C:\Users\Jerry\AppData\Local> mklink /D Google P:\AppData\Local\Google
Code: Select all
09/15/2021 09:04 AM <SYMLINKD> Google [P:\AppData\Local\Google]
Code: Select all
lrwxrwxrwx 1 Administrators None 32 Sep 15 09:04 Google -> /cygdrive/p/AppData/Local/Google

Re: Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
I'm doing the same as Jerry, to have a number of AppData folders actually located in RamDisk, so I use the same command as he did:
mklink /d "C:\Users\JLoftus\AppData\Local\Google\" "R:\JLoftus\Google"
When I use attr:junction in the Color Filters, these folders appear correctly filtered. I too have tried many variants of what Highend posted and I can't get any of those to work for these links as well.

Don't know what exactly the problem is...

videos a
If there is something missing:
Show a screenshot and how that link was created + filter definitions (only the relevant ones)...

Re: Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
weird, I pasted your first line "prop:#JunctionTarget:*:*" directly over mine, which appeared to be the exact same text, and now it works. It also appears (at least for my system) to behave exactly the same as attr:junction ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

The + in front is only there when you manage them via the pencil button, not when entered in the gui where you have the checkbox...

Re: Color Filters: Showing Symbolic Links
Ok, that was it. I removed the leading plus sign, and now it works. Thanks.
