Neat GUI tool to make Linux type Symlinks on Windows.
I like to keep my folders organized. Space is an issue. For example:
TV
.....Classic TV
.....Drama
.....Sitcoms
.....Etc
News
.....Local
.....National
.....etc
Sports
.....Football
.....FC Soccer
.....Baseball
.....etc
I have been making Windows mklinks (Linux users know them as Symlinks) by hand. Drama's are on one hard drive while Sitcoms are on another. Yet in my TV Library all are organized together. It even works on network shares.
I came across a stand alone MKLINKS gui on Github and it has made my life easier.
https://github.com/amd989/Symlinker
I thought I would share.
In closing, I have stacks of hard drives from salvaging computers. The shows I know I will delete often and not archive (like local news) I keep on a separate hard drive in case of hard drive failure. No lost sleep if they go die suddenly.
As of today, it works perfectly on Windows 10 (version 1511). Hopefully they don't take mklinks away in the Windows 10 major Anniversary upgrade starting August 2, 2016.
