Context menu item for Dolphin file manager that creates a soft symbolic link to a **_single_** selected file and puts it in the same directory as the target file. The link name has **"_lnk"** appended to the target's name before the extension. "_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.

"_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 folder. Designed to work with a file that has an extension, e.g. My File.**_txt_**. Will work with a file that has no extension, but the link ends up with the file name as its "false" extension (see Usage below). Works with a file that has spaces in its name (or extension...who does that?)

## Usage
## Usage
- With Extension:
**My File.txt** --> **My File_lnk.txt** in same folder as the link target.
**My File.txt** --> **My File_lnk.txt** in same folder as the link target.
- Without Extension (it works, but...):
**My File** --> **My File_lnk.My File** in same folder as the link target (ugly "false" extension).
## Roadmap
## Roadmap
Current version is not written to process multiple files, but that should be easy enough to do.
Process multiple files.
Prevent "false" extension on file with no extension.
