Symlink Creator 1.2.8
Symlink Creator gives you a GUI app that allows you to create multiple symlinks (symbolic links) at once using the mklink command. Symbolic links create shortcuts to other files or folders on your computer.
With Symlink Creator, you can create multiple symbolic links at once, saving you time and effort. The application allows you to select the source files or folders and the destinations where you want to create symbolic links. Symlink Creator is a convenient tool for developers, system administrators, and anyone who frequently works with symbolic links. They can be used to reference a file or folder in a different location without having to move or copy it.
Usage Scenario
To create a separate collection of your favorite songs from the collection on your PC, the traditional shortcut option is not enough as it cannot copy the actual file contents. Duplicating the files will waste your PC's storage space. Symlink Creator solves this problem, allowing you to easily transfer a separate collection of songs to your mobile devices without wasting your PC's storage space. If you have a special folder linked to online storage, you can use Symlink Creator to backup specific files/folders from other folders without duplicating them in the special folder.
Symlink Creator's Process
In a nutshell, Symlink Creator is a tool that creates symlinks - a feature of NTFS. Unlike traditional shortcut files (*.lnk), symlinks do not occupy any storage space as they do not have a file size. Though symlinks are often referred to as advanced shortcut files, they appear to be actual files and not just shortcuts. Unlike duplicated files, symlinks do not waste any storage space. Symlink Creator is capable of creating symlinks for both files and folders.
When creating symlinks with Symlink Creator, the tool first generates a script file that contains all the necessary mklink command lines. The script file is then executed to create the symlinks. This method ensures that the entire process is streamlined and efficient.
Overall, Symlink Creator is a useful tool for managing files and folders in the file system. Creating symlinks enables users to reference files and folders more flexibly and conveniently.
