nautilus-follow-symlink is a nautilus extension that adds a context menu entry to nautilus on symbolic links pointing to directories, which once clicked opens the pointed directory (the real path) in a window. It does so both when right clicking on the folder icon or on the contents of an opened symbolic link.

Recent releases


Changes: This release uses a stock icon instead of the hard-wired icon location. It has packaging cleanup, and a configure script is provided by default.


Changes: Initial support for GNOME 2.22.


Changes: The icon was fixed. In newer versions of GNOME, the icon wasn't loaded and a default big, empty icon was shown in its place.


Changes: File names with underscores are now shown correctly. Compilation on 64-bit architectures (where __unused can't be defined) was fixed. automake 1.9 is now required, which was what is actually used.
