What I mean is that in a terminal you could do something like: ln -s /var/www ~/Link_to_www
What nautilus does is similar to: cd /var ln -s www Link_to_www You have write permissions to your own home directory so could make a link from there to somewhere else where you don't have write permissions or it is on a fat32 file system. Currently you can't do this with Nautilus because it has to make the link in the same directory where you are linking to. What I'm suggesting is that if you go to /var and select "Make Link" nautilus brings up the file chooser dialog so you can choose a directory to place the link in. -- Should be able to make link to files in directory without write permissions or in fat32 directory in home directory https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/242476 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is a bug assignee. -- desktop-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
