Hi,
I've been having trouble creating symlinks from the finder. I want to create symlinks to some of the directories in my iTunes library and put them in a 'Sync' folder. Then I can rsync the contents of this directory periodically to my iRiver.
Finder only seems to let me create an alias when I apple-control+drag to my Sync folder. Rsync will not follow aliases, only symlinks.
Is there any way I change the default finder behaviour so that it creates symlinks instead of aliases?
If this can't be done, is there any way I can create a context menu item in the top level of the context menu hierarchy and have that run a shell script to creates the symlink in my sync folder?
Thanks
Chris
