How to Create a Linked Icon ?
You can create a linked icon in two ways:
- by creating a link to a selected icon
- by creating a linked icon in the current window and changing the pathname to another directory
To create a link to a selected icon:
- Select the icon to which you want to create a link.
- Choose Link from the Edit menu.
A link to the selected icon is copied to the QuickSilver clipboard. The linked icon's name is the same as the original but appears in italic. - Open the container in which you want the link.
- Choose Paste from the Edit menu.
The linked icon appears in the current container.
To create a link to another directory:
- Choose Link from the Edit menu.
A host directory icon labeled NoName appears in the current window - Select the NoName icon
- Choose File Properties from the File menu.
The File Properties dialog box appears. - Choose the Interleaf Info sheet.
- Delete NoName from the Name text box, and type the desktop name you want for the icon.
- Choose a QuickSilver container type for the icon from the Class drop-down list.
- Choose the File Info sheet.
- Delete the pathname in the Link To text box, and type the pathname of the directory to which you want to link the icon.
- Click OK
NOTE: When you create a linked icon, you own the linked icon, but the target icon retains its original owner.
