[Bug 38733] Re: Cannot create link on a Samba-drive using Nautilus

[markba]

** Description changed:

  When trying to create a link with Nautilus on a file located on a Samba-drive,
  Nautilus shows: "Error "Operation not permitted" while creating a link to "/mnt/win02-...p/bugs.txt"." This seems logical because it is a Linux-link which will be created and not a Windows-shortcut.
  
  On the other hand, I think that Nautilus should give me an option to
  create that link on the desktop (for example), because a 'normal' user
  does not have any knowledge about file-systems like Samba, nor should he
  have (my opinion).
  
- From a useablity viewpoint, I think my suggestion is a better option,
+ From a useability viewpoint, I think my suggestion is a better option,
  because requiring a user to switch to terminal and executing "~/Desktop$
  ln -s /mnt/win02-temp/bugs.txt" does not seem a viable option.
  
  So, it's more a feature request than a bug, I'm not sure if this channel
  (Launchpad) is the right one.
