I have two symlinks in my home directory. ~/Music points to a USB pocket hard drive that contains my music files. It works fine. ~/Videos points to another partition on the main disk that contains (what else?) videos (/srv/videodata). It fails to open, the way that Gary mentioned above. I can hover the mouse over the Videos entry in efm, and the tooltip window opens and shows the files in that directory. When I right-click and select "Properties", the correct link information is shown. But when I double-click on the Videos entry, efm tells me that "/home/dales/srv/videodata" does not exist. I tried to run an strace on enlightenment_filemanager, but the strace ended when the efm window opened. Evidently that program is simply a launcher. Interestingly, when I ran an strace -p of the running enlightenment_fm process, efm worked. The symlink opened without any trouble. I don't know what changed, but something certainly did. As it happens, I am still running E17.0, I haven't installed 17.1 yet, so the problem may already be fixed. But just in case it isn't, maybe this will help. --Dale -- Ivanova: Always finding the good in any situation, eh Captain? Sheridan: Absolutely.
