![]() So some things would be nice to add for sure, but given the number of users who will benefit might actually mean that it a feature is given less of a priority than a feature which benefits all or significantly more of the community. That is the current level of resources for this feature (Fusion and Workstation and all the platforms that go with those), also I have to consider what our PMs tell us about the number of users and the most common environments too. It is simply a question of prioritization of new features, existing fixes, performance improvements, and resources available to do the work. It is not a black and white question of not supporting a feature. ![]() Thanks for your patience, and your inputs,ĭescribe the reason for not supporting symlinks in a NTFS shared folder when it's supported for a HFS+ shared folder When is the patch commited to ( )?Īgain I am prevented from stating any times and dates, but yes it will be included in the open vm tools builds too at some point soon. But 9.something whatever that next number happens to be. ![]() I am not allowed to say what the version number will be and even when as times and numbering can always change. What's the file name of the first `VMwareTools-9.?.?-?.tar.gz` that contain this patch? We would have to map the linux guest implementations of symlinks to those of the Windows hosts - namely Microsoft formats, so yes if and when we implement it. Is the symlink file identical to an existing symlink format described at ( )? If I have more details I will file a feature request and track it and can add it in to the schedule. ![]() Can you either state your use case either here or to me in a private message if you don't feel comfortable making that public. I assume the reason you ask is that you have a need for this. That would be an interesting feature to implement which I would love to have time to do I hope in the future. Unfortunately no, I have not been given the time to address Windows hosts and support symlinks there. Does this patch enable symlink support for a Windows VMware Workstation NTFS shared folder mounted with Host/Guest File System in a Linux guest?
