Soft Link

Name

Soft Link

Description

Context menu item for Dolphin that creates a soft symbolic link to a single selected file and puts it in the directory of the selected item with "_lnk" appended to the file name before the extension. 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.

Roadmap

Current version is not written to process multiple files, but that should be easy enough to do.
