A little red arrow as used under Windows by Linksshellextention would be fine.

Hardlink are good at saving space and add *clarity*, if one file was used in number of processes / submissions/dokumentations. But you need a warning to point you to generat a new version. - A user may falsely believe that a file is hard-linked due to a prior move instead af a generating a hardlink > Conclusion: > Though the use cases may be considered niche, there are benefits in being > able to see at a glance if a file is hard-link or not.

I am a new user and was shocked that dolphin don't support this filesystem feachure I had use even in UNIX Sytem V. I don't want to use Windows for my docment managment. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes.
