How to specify destination folder for hardlink paste

Post by hitfq »

The command paste as hardlink only has a code number. But I tried the following format and it didn't work.
::#208 "C:\Library";
The other command like copyto and moveto don't seem to have a hardlink option.
Many thanks!

Two things:
1) To paste hard links try:

Code: Select all

 copy "file name"; #208;
2) You can paste only files (not folders) as hard links.
from help file:
Hard links can only be created for files, not for folders.

What I meant is paste the hardlink to a folder that is not open int the current tab sets, for instance, I want to put some files in a specific backup folder. So is it possible to pass a parameter to the command 208?
Thank you very much!

No, numerical commands take no parameters.

OK. It will be very nice if the moveto command has a hardlink option.
Thank you!

Does this command show what the hardlink file or folder is related to ?

Highend - This was the closest thing I could find as you suggested to search for; without being sarcastic do you have any links to threads that may be of help ?

I wrote "Google knows more about such tools..." and not "search for threads in this forum"...

Mis-understanding, I'll move it elsewhere.
