Creating a link (.lnk) to an image file

Post by svennbg »

It would be very helpful if you could also create a link (.lnk) in xnview (not just in Windows Explorer).

Thank you

I would also like to see a way to create links for a bunch of files via the context menu.
What I'm doing:
I'm rating pictures for a book. Then I filter after the rating, mark all files and use the context menu "Copy To..." to copy them to a workfolder. Now instead of copying them I would like to create links in that folder. This would save space and time.
