Hi Izaak,
We have fixed the problem of not showing content of nested external
links in HDFView.
The fix will go into the next release, which is scheduled for the middle
of December 2011.
Thank you again for reporting the issue.

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
