I knew about an ability to add your own command, but I though it's only to call the editor (without a dialog). But in fact it's logical that destination dialog is shown where %d occurs. > The command asks for destination if it is started from the menu and appears > also in drag&drop menu and in sort manager. > > Symlink command is a typical usage of this feature and it was added to the > default commands, so you can just reset he editors list if you don't see it. I had the config from the older version. After reset I can see a "Symlink" command. > Please test if it fits your needs. Feedback is welcome. It's exactly what I was writing about. Thanks. Symlinks are made correctly. Alt-E,3 is quite easy to reach. Btw, is it suggested to make some special steps after upgrade to the (any) new version of Geeqie?
