Hmm. A symlinked folder I can navigate through and save to from gedit, but shows as broken and can't be clicked through in nautilus.
@PaulCzege …are you just making up names of things that don’t actually exist?
@PaulCzege if it's a relative symlink - nautilus might be parsing the path wrong?
@PaulCzege huh - that's a fully qualified path... did you install nautilus from snap or app image? That looks like a cross device symlink which would break inside a snap or appimage
It's a symlink across partitions of the same ssd. I created it via command line. I pasted the path for the command, but haven't copy/pasted the symlink within nautilus.
@PaulCzege sorry, out of my depth, I hope it gets figured, sorry, wish I could help more (cross device does include different partitions in this context though, to be clear)
@PaulCzege perhaps a file system limitation or assumption? The “shared with windows” file system may be FAT32, which doesn’t support symlinks. Perhaps nautilus makes some assumptions about FAT32…? The invisible until restart issue could also be related. If you want to get to the bottom, post the permissions of both the symlink and the target (stat output).
