Public bug reported:
Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Severity: Normal
Priority: (none set)
Status: Unconfirmed
Description:
When trying to create a link with Nautilus on a file located on a Samba-drive,
Nautilus shows: "Error "Operation not permitted" while creating a link to
"/mnt/win02-...p/bugs.txt"." This seems logical because it is a Linux-link
which will be created and not a Windows-shortcut.
On the other hand, I think that Nautilus should give me an option to
create that link on the desktop (for example), because a 'normal' user
does not have any knowledge about file-systems like Samba, nor should he
have (my opinion).
>From a useablity viewpoint, I think my suggestion is a better option,
because requiring a user to switch to terminal and executing "~/Desktop$
ln -s /mnt/win02-temp/bugs.txt" does not seem a viable option.
So, it's more a feature request than a bug, I'm not sure if this channel
(Launchpad) is the right one.
