Link Shell Extension
#1
Hi

Link Shell Extension is for Winodows OS.

Quote:[size=undefined]Link Shell Extension (LSE) provides for the creation of Hardlinks , Junctions , Volume Mountpoints , and Windows7/8's Symbolic Links, (herein [/size]referred to collectively as Links) a folder cloning process that utilises Hardlinks or Symbolic Links and a copy process taking care of Junctions, Symbolic Links, and Hardlinks. LSE, as its name implies is implemented as a Shell extension and is accessed from Windows Explorer, or similar file/folder managers.  The extension allows the user to select one or many files or folders, then using the mouse, complete the creation of the required Links - Hardlinks, Junctions or Symbolic Links or in the case of folders to create Clones consisting of Hard or Symbolic Links. LSE is supported on all Windows versions that support NTFS version 5.0 or later, including Windows XP64 and Windows7/8/10.  Hardlinks, Junctions and Symbolic Links are NOT supported on FAT file systems, and nor is the Cloning and Smart Copy process supported on FAT file systems. 

Quote:History:

February 15, 2019
Version 3.9.1.3

    ---SmartMirror in LSE had problem with nested reparse points
    ---The symbolic replacement mechansism was broken for the elevated use-case. Caused by 3.8.7.2
    ---Improved the progress estimation for the progressbar and introduced the Windows7 progress dialog


December 28, 2018
Version 3.9.0.2

   --- Improved the progress estimation for the progressbar
   ---Fixed crash in LSEConfig when it replaced the texts upon startup
   ---Removed vcredist-vs2005 check from installer
   ---[Internal] but important change from VS2005 (sic) to VS2017. Basically everything compiled smoothly except for the heap, thus...
   ---[Internal] Removed the Rockall fast heap. This was neccessary, but also a big performance gain. Memory allocation is 2 times faster, and memory deletion is 10 times faster. Memory allocation is crucial for the core of ln.exe and LSE.
   ---[Internal] Dropped Itanium configuration, since VS2017 does not support it anymore, and I am sure there is no Itanium hardware out in the wild anymore.
