Open folder alias in NC? [CLOSED]

[d0ublezer0]

Huh, today I have an unusually high activity ))

By occupation I have to constantly switch between files deep into the structure, and to make it more convenient, I created an alias for the desired folder by pressing cmd+L in finder.
But in NC if I press [enter] on the link, it opens a Finder instead of move to the desired location.
I tried use key combination
cmd+enter, opt+enter, cmd+down, shift+enter
all fails

Maybe an alias is not exactly what you're looking for?

If you're just looking for a shortcut in the file system, try creating a symlink. I don't know if you can create one in Finder, but it's easy in Terminal (ln -s path_to_destination path_to_symlink) or right out of NC (Command -> Links -> Create symbolic link). Like that, you can jump to your destination in Finder, NC, Terminal etc.

HTH.

Yes, symbolic links - it just what was needed.

NC can't handle Mac aliases in any way.
And honestly I don't know any reason to use them on a solid UNIX system - symbolic links will do better.

I was just trying to create a symlink with NC, but the menu item is greyed out. (Only hardlinks are possible.) Is this a bug or a restriction in the trial version?

EDIT: I closed the NC main window, opened a new one, and then symlinking suddenly worked. (?)

Looks like a bug in a menu item predicate.
