--- Comment #6 from Jens <i.m.j...@gmx.de> --- I would like to suggest *not* to create a kind of "counter" overlay icon, though it sounds great on first thought. Considerations: – In details/compact view (with smallest icon size) overlay icons are really tiny and a number is almost impossible to read. – In addition this needs to implement quite a lot of different overlay icons (→ mem load). – Alternatively a textual overlay (→ e.g. Unicode square/encircled numbers) would complicate the implementation unnecessarily as this needs to be rendered at least each time you change the directory (→ even more mem load/switch time). – And at last, this most likely will cause a (endless) discussion about, »where should it stop counting?«. Instead I think a different colored overlay icon (with normal file name font style for hardlinks, as suggested by Simone Gaiarin) might be a good "first sight hint" (e.g. symlinks→green / hardlinks→yellow). If colors might be hard(er) to implement, maybe a different position (symlinks→lower right/ hardlinks→upper left) will do. In addition a hardlink counter field in the preview (both pane & tooltip) and *maybe* a column (→ details view) could make it even more customizable. (And *if* this needs another column/field to be replaced, I really wouldn't miss the assessment field.) BTW, I really miss such a feature! It's a pain i.t.a. to create workarounds for this kind of link management. Even Krusader can't help here. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
