Andrew, Thanks. As I’ve written, I solved (or worked round) the problem by renaming the shortcut files to match the names of the destinations, but a hard link would certainly seem to be an alternative. Jeremy > On 16 Oct 2018, at 00:18, Andrew Hickey via 4D_Tech <4d_tech@lists.4d.com> >

I think the command you are looking for is the MKLINK command, it does require special permissions for some uses, but for components and plugins you can use the /J switch to symbolically link the folders. 4D Tech mailing list wrote > In house. Does it matter? > > Jeremy > > On 13 Oct 2018,

I have discovered that if I change the names of the shortcut files so that they match exactly those of the component databases to which they point, 4D recognises and follows them. This involved deleting “ - shortcut” from each name. Odd. Jeremy > On 13 Oct 2018, at 12:01, Jeremy Roussak via

Elementary question

I usually work on a Mac. I have to develop one application in 4D on a Windows machine. It’s already up and working on the Mac. On my Mac, I can put aliases to a few of my components, which I use frequently, in the Components folder of the 4D application. They’re then available to any 4D
