"_lnk" is added to the link name because the the **ln** command does not allow a file and its soft symlink to have the same name and be located in the same directory. Works with file names that have spaces in the name or extension. ## Installation Put .desktop file in **~/.local/share/kio/servicemenus/**. ## Usage -Use examples liberally, and show the expected output if you can. It's helpful to have inline the smallest example of usage that you can demonstrate, while providing links to more sophisticated examples if they are too long to reasonably include in the README. +**My File.txt** --> **My File_lnk.txt** in same folder as the link target. ## Roadmap Current version is not written to process multiple files, but that should be easy enough to do.
