Search for NTFS links

[skz169]

Hello
Sometimes it's helpful to search for NTFS links. If the advanced search dialogue was an additional attribute for this it would be logical imho.

Thats already possible with the TC search using plugins.
There are at least 2 which provide that info:
NL_Info https://totalcmd.net/plugring/nl_info.html
NTLinks http://totalcmd.net/plugring/NTLinks.html

Thank you! NTLinks works great even on Btrfs volume.

Well, if you don't need to distinguish link types, there is an internal TC field for inks - "tc.file type" = "reparse point". It detects junctions and folder symbolic links, but file symbolic links are treated as just files by this field.

Thanks for the tip! By the way, this method doesn't work at all on Btrfs.

That's interesting, and also intersting how my NTLinks works on it.
