I have a text file, called Text.
I did in Terminal:
ln -s Text SymlinkToText

When I try to open SymlinkToText in TextEdit "SymlinkToText" is
shown in the Open Panel, but when I select it, the "Open"-button is
disabled.

Is this a bug or a feature (in 10.5.6) ?
I believe this did work in Tiger, but have no machine to test this.

Call [yourOpenPanel setResolvesAliases:YES] to make an open panel
resolve aliases/symlinks.

I tried this. Works as expected for Aliases. But has no effect on symbolic links.

And symbolic links behave really crazy:
        ln -s a symA
Now I can open symA (and get the content of "a") at most once.
When I try to open symA again the "Open" button in the NSOpenPanel is disabled.

But when I do [ openPanel setCanChooseDirectories: YES ] I can open symA as often as I want.

The Finder and the OpenPanel show symA with a ► at the end (as it is done for folders). The Preview is correct though.

Is this a known feature or bug of 10.5.6?
Am I doing something wrong?
Does anybody seen this strange behaviour as well, or is it only me?

Kind regards,

Gerriet.
