NTLinks 1.6.0.244

NTLinks 1.6.0.244

Plugin allows working with NTFS reparse points data fields:
+ gets file indexes and number and paths of hardlinks
+ gets target path for reparse points and real path for all objects
+ supports symbolic links (new in Windows Vista/7)
+ get/set target path for symbolic links and junctions
+ fastest hardlinks comparison (within same volume)
+ Unicode and long paths support

You may choose between natural and symbolic output mode - in symbolic mode volume names for mount points are not resolved to mounted path names. If TC supports Unicode (TC 7.50+), plugin returns Unicode strings.

In order to create NTFS links you can use NTLinks Maker tool.

(discussion is here, see Readme file for more detailed description)

	* reading relative not null-terminated symlink paths

2015-10-26	1.6.0.242
	+ long path support

2012-03-12	1.5.3.216
	+ shows size 1 KB/MB/GB instead of 0 for non-empty files

2012-04-26	1.5.3.214
	+ new field to get paths of hard copies of the file (first 10 items, requires Windows Vista)
	+ new field to get real size of a file behind symlink
	* wrong real path for file symlinks
	* full target was shown instead of relative one sometimes
	* improved junction detection if path starts with volume GUID
	* ANSI to Unicode conversion bug in non-Unicode functions (introduced in 1.5.0.108)

2011-09-19	1.5.2.162
	+ 64-bit version of plugin added (requires 64-bit TC version)
	* wrong reparse point type detection after creating reparse point

2011-06-15	1.5.1.156
	+ special identical equality icon for index compare (for Synchronize by contents dialog)
	+ removes \??\ prefix for symbolic target of mount points too
	+ allows setting path starting with volume GUID w/o prefix \??\ (for mount points and junctions)
	+ understands symlinks and junctions starting with volume GUID
	+ gets privilege required to modify symlinks
	* clears cache on refresh or change dir in TC
	* wrong prefix for target of absolute symlink
	* shows number of hardlinks for dirs and symlinks

2011-06-11	1.5.0.124
	+ keeps last file data in cache (should work faster when many plugin columns used)
	+ natural mode for symlinks now returns full path even if link contains relative one
	+ set/remove target path feature (via Attributes dialog) for mount points/junctions and symbolic links
	+ compare files by file/volume index function (for Synchronize by contents dialog)
	* max number of expands in real path reduced to 32 (Windows doesn't allow more than 31 reparse points in a path)
	* faster algorithm for real path
	* fixed some reparse point types
	* Unicode and ANSI fields joined together (same fields return ANSI strings in old TC versions)

2010-05-12	1.0.0.74
	* returned wrong real path for symlinks with target started with backslash (relative to root) due to Unicode conversion

2010-04-01	1.0.0.72
	+ Unicode support
	+ two new Unicode fields added: RP_TargetW, Obj_RealPathW
	+ changed module base address
	* for non-existent files type 'reparse point' was displayed

2009-09-01	1.0.0.56
	+ uses FindFirstVolumeMountPoint function under Windows 2000 if available (admin rights)
	+ symbolic mode for target and real path fields - doesn't expand mount points

2009-08-29	1.0.0.48
	+ real path field that have reparse points expanded
	+ max 256 expands to avoid loops
	* reparse points not always expanded if current program folder is reparse point
	* next reparse point may leave unexpanded if its nesting level less than processed level

2009-08-28	1.0.0.30
	+ some new reparse point types
	* now supports Windows 2000 (calls GetVolumePathNamesForVolumeNameW dynamically)

2009-08-26	1.0.0.xx
	! first public release
	+ returns info about file index, number of copies, reparse points type and target, target availability
