nautilus - Ubuntu 16.04 - Where is the "make link" command now? - Ask Ubuntu


i upgraded ubuntu 14.04 16.04 (which appears latest). there have been number of changes annoying current worst inability "make link". have files 3.18.5 , there no longer "make link" when right click on folder or file. help...

using @zanna recommendation, have solution uses ln -s , falls situation

  1. open terminal

  2. navigate file wish make link for

  3. type

    ln -s filename linkname 
  4. copy or move link desktop

    mv linkname /home/user/desktop/ 

note: use cp instead of mv because makes easier try again when mess up. remember long file names (containing spaces) must placed in double quotes:

"long file name"
