Version: (using KDE Devel) Installed from: Compiled sources It would be very cool if I could use links I've made in Windows (any version of course ;-) ) within KDE. What I don't want is the links to be converted into a different format or something else. Is this feasible? If anything is unclear -> drop me a line Gruß, Philipp
If you need more information concerning the file format go to http://www.wotsit.org/ and search for LNK
KDE 3.3 has a "Window lnk File Forwarder" - but don't ask me if it does what you want. :-)
I don't know that "Window lnk File Forwarder" ot what is doeas. I just thought of treating Windows (in German: Verknüpfungen) links as KDE links.

Cygwin has done some work in this area (http://www.cygwin.com/cygwin-ug-net/using-effectively.html) and (http://www.cygwin.com/ml/cygwin/2002-07/msg00295.html). Also, Microsoft documentation is at http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/shellcc/platform/shell/reference/ifaces/ishelllink/ishelllink.asp
This functionality is actually provided already! To configure: 1. Install the kdeaddons-kfile-plugins package. 2. Right-click a .lnk file, then click "Properties". 3. Click the configuration wrench. 4. Click Windows Lnk File Forwarder in the bottom box, then "Edit..." 5. Click the "Application" tab on top. 6. In the "Command" box, there will be "lnkforward -map C=/mnt/winc". Replace /mnt/winc with the mount point for your (first) windows drive letter. Additinal windows drive letters should be specified with there own -map. E.g. if you have a C & D drive put "lnkforward -map C=/myCDrive -map D=/myDDrive". You need a -map pair for each drive letter. 7. Click OK. These configurations will be saved to your home directory, and the .lnk files should work.
/myCDrive and /myDDrive were just examples. They should be replaced with the actual mount points for the relevant Windows drive letters.
It would be neat to have this feature. It'd even be useful for the Dolphin KPart in Windows since it is now being deployed on that platform. Subscribing ppenz so that hopefully this gets moved to the right place.

But man, how to make it on Windows? The kdeaddons-kfile-plugins isn't disponible for Windows! I've reported a bug but they has marked my bug was a duplicate of this! Please, how to make it on Windows? And is this implementable for Plasma Desktop on Windows? See Ya.
Is this kdeaddons-kfile-plugins package available for KDE 4?
