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.

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.

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.

You're using Chrome to browse...your local file system?

Yes, I am, to test HTML documents that I develop for use as templates for use in the SalesTalk application that I began supporting last summer.

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.

What a great way to make a yappy dog even more annoying to strangers, and ensure that it gets kicked more often.
Aren't there animal protection laws in the backward country this came from?

Wrong translation.

... you can set it so only specific contacts can call or text you. Hmmm ... if you set all your contacts as "priority" then cold calls, advert texts, and scammers can't bother you again ... I can see a use for that. Permanently on, in fact.

I'd prefer a hosts-file for that; one could share it, for a fee

Better. I got the Blade of GLoRy.
It's got +N where N is the number of ambiguities you're up against.
