I'd very much like to see NTFS symlink support added, but I just don't have the time right now. I might be able to add the support for Vista some in the next month or two, as that is less work, but am worried the 2000 and XP support will be troublesome.
If anyone else would like to contribute such support, let me know. Good test coverage would have be part of such support.
My Hamigaki.Filesystem library supports Windows Vista symbolic links. http://tinyurl.com/2lfmah And the documentation (in Japanese) http://hamigaki.sourceforge.jp/libs/filesystem/ Hamigaki.Filesystem provides the following functions: void create_file_symlink(const path&, const path&); void create_directory_symlink(const path&, const path&); void create_symlink(const path&, const path&); Windows Vista symbolic links distinguish between the link to the file and the link to the directory. So we need create_file_symlink() and create_directory_symlink(). If the target of the symbolic link exists, you can use create_symlink(). Regards, Takeshi Mouri
