Product Description:

SymbolicLinker is a tiny contextual menu plugin (for Puma through Leopard users) and software service (for Snow Leopard & later users) that, once installed, allows any user to create symbolic links to files inside the Finder. SymbolicLinker does this by adding a contextual menu item to the Finder that generates symbolic links to the selected files.

What's new in this version:

  • SymbolicLinker has gone Dutch (with a Dutch localization).
  • Since people have asked about the Finder Services menu and what triggers it, the documentation now explains why this submenu appears.

Operating System Requirements:

This product is designed to run on the following operating systems:

  • Mac OS X 10.5 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.5 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.4 Intel
  • Mac OS X 10.4 PPC
  • Mac OS X 10.3.9
  • Mac OS X 10.3
  • Mac OS X 10.2
  • Mac OS X 10.1

Additional Requirements:

  • Mac OS X 10.1 through 10.5.8 for the contextual menu item
  • Mac OS X 10.6 or later for the software service

SymbolicLinker ReviewStill working great under OS 10.6.2! - Version: 2.0, 11/25/2009 11:27AM PST

SymbolicLinker 2.0 works perfectly under Snow Leopard Services. (Long-time users, make sure you read the Installation Instructions for Snow Leopard... it's no longer a contextual menu item.)

Thanks so much for keeping this software updated and relevant. 5 Stars all the way!

Great addition to the contextual menu. For those who use Dropbox, symlinks are recommended in the current version, and Symboliclinker is the easiest way to create them. Thanks to the developer. 5 stars utility.

SymbolicLinker ReviewWorks in Leopard Too! - Version: 1.2v2, 11/9/2007 11:50PM PST

Great little app this, saves loads of time. Does what it should and does not interfere with anything.

It works well in Leopard but when you right click on the object you wish to link, it does not appear in the same menu position as in Tiger. You have to scroll down to " Other " and there it is at the bottom.

Many thanks Nick!
