Hi Izaak,
I reproduced the problem you described. We will investigate the feature
to see
if there is a bug or some limitation in HDFView.
Thank you very much for reporting it.

Hello all,
Regarding external links, should one be able to cascade or recurse
down multiple external links? In HDFview-2.7 I can't see the contents
of an externally linked group more than 1 level deep. Should I expect
similar behaviour in a compiled Fortran code?
For example, I have a set of files named 1.h5 to 9.h5 each containing
multiple groups and data sets. Files 1.h5 to 8.h5 also contain an
external link, '/next' which, as you can see, lives at the top (root)
level of each data file. This soft link then points to the root group
of the next hdf5 file. For example, 1.h5/next --> 2.h5/, 2.h5/next -->
3.h5/, etc. In HDFview-2.7 if I were to open 1.h5/next I can see the
entire contents and meta data of 2.h5/, but 1.h5/next/next won't open,
although it appears I can see the correct meta data.
Is this the desired behaviour of HDFview or a bug?
Can I expect to be able to derefrence/address a chain of multiple
external links in a compiled program using the HDF5 API?
Thanks,
Izaak Beekman
