Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: nautilus
If a user wants to make a symbolic link to somewhere in a directory
where they don't have write permissions or to a file/directory on a
fat32 partition they have to do it through the terminal.
Say I want to create a link to /windows/My\ Documents which is on a
fat32 drive or /var/www. I can't right click and select "Make link" as
this would need to write a symbolic link into that directory. Instead
selecting "Make link" should prompt for a directory to place the link in
so that it can be placed in the users home directory.
** Affects: nautilus (Ubuntu)
Importance: Wishlist
Assignee: Ubuntu Desktop Bugs (desktop-bugs)
Status: Incomplete
** Summary changed:
- Should be able to make link to files without write permissions or fat32/ntfs
dir in home directory
+ Should be able to make link to files in directory without write permissions
or in fat32 directory in home directory
