Google Chrome Doesn't Follow Symbolic Links
-
Google Chrome doesn't follow symbolic links. For an image to be rendered, it must be either a hard link or a copy of the original that is stored elsewhere. This I discovered when I attempted to use a symlink to an image, to avoid making a copy of it.

That's probably why I can't download files in Chromium anymore, I symlinked my ~/Downloads directory a larger spinning drive to save space on my SSD - then started getting permissions errors when I try to download anything. The problem was easily resolved by not using Chromium anymore.

Did they make this (not) work both with Linux and Windows symbolic links? If that is the case, is is truly impessing!
Since I'm not running Chrome on Linux, I can't say. Maybe somebody else knows.

There is a setting that you can use to directly change the default downloads directory; it's in the Advanced settings on the main Settings page.

Carry on then. I thought somebody was making it out to be a better file system browser than Explorer. :-) (not that Explorer isn't without its faults...)
No, but it's handy from time to time for reviewing HTML documents and document fragments intended to be embedded in something bugger.
