Junctions and hardlinks: column values not showing

Post by rgbigel »

In the details view, I include the columns for the link target and hardlink count, xyPlorer shows both values as empty.

This is my picture on Windows 10 pro Version 14388 (aka release candicate for August 2), 64 Bit, Admin or not

- dupemerge (64) by Herman Schinagl shows hard links in the target dir twice for duplicates with option (--list or deduplication run)
- ln --enum by that author does show them correctly
- windows explorer doesn's show either link target nor link count (in the details view when these columns are selected)
- windows explorer does show above data in the properties page for objects having junctions or hard links
- xyplorer doesn's show either link target nor link count (in the details view when these columns are selected)
- cmd.exe will not show the hard link attribute "L" both with dir and attrib commands
- everything.exe seems to be Junction-Aware, because it shows only one of the hardlinked files
- Nirsoft's freecommander does not show the attribute "L" (does/did it ever?)

Very probably the simple access to the file's attributes is not working, whereas programs using the MFT are (partially) working.
