Drag to Create Hard Links

[Redbeardtoo]

Hello,
Right now you can drag and drop a file to another tab or pane and the context menu gives you options such as Copy Here or Move Here. It would be nice to have the option to Create Hard Link Here or Create SymLink Here.

Thanks

Nice to have, but no prio.

You can always use this..

This can be scripted using cmd with mklink.

@Don: With the current inbuilt GUI hard/symlink functions, what are the chances that you could make them be run externally from say XYcopy which would ask to self elevate? instead of the current situation of them not working unless XY is elevated.

@Jupe:

I have added "myself*" to the policy Create Symbolic Links in User Rights Assignment in Windows' Local Security Policy (the default here is "Administrators").
Ever since I can, for instance, Paste As SymbolicLink(s) from my normal, unelevated XYplorer instance. It may be worth a try.

*: "myself" is a non-admin user

Yeah I don't really want to do that because then malware can abuse that ability system wide, I have also scripted the ability to make links by elevating in the BG anyway, I just though it would be useful for others, if XY could do it natively. Thanks for suggestion though.

... I just though it would be useful for others, if XY could do it natively.

Oh yeah, I would prefer a XY native way by miles (because of the security issue) ! I just didn't know that you know.

It's something for the shadow instance I'm planning.
