paste hard links to same file to multiple folders
Posted: Wed Nov 02, 2022 4:17 pm
Say you want to paste hard links to the same file in multiple folders scattered across your volume. Everything provides a good way to quickly find destination folders using the folder: modifier. But the only way I know how to do this is using Link Shell Extension. LSE will allow you to paste a hard link only a single time to a single folder. After the first paste, the "Drop As" option no longer appears. So is there another way to paste the same hard link to multiple destination folders found with Everything, without having to use "Pick Link Source" repeatedly? Is there another way?
I guess the best option may be to repeatedly right-drag the file to each desired destination folder, then click Drop As ... then Hardlink. But you'd have to have the source file showing and able to click and drag it.
p.s. I emailed the author of LSE about this but never got a reply.
