ok. I tested with folder names without '!' character in them. I don't think that is the case - I found out that where two sourcefolders had the same folders (with exactly the same names) the last mentioned problem persisted - 1) the script creates symlinks both in DestFolder and SourceFolder for the...

thanks Ian, I will wait for your solution. meanwhile, i found out strange thing - as per your script - it creates symlinks not only in DestFolder, but also in SourceFolder - i mean, i found out i get symlinks there and there. This needs to be fixed somehow, as symlinks in SourceFolders are not neces...

thanks Ian. Can you pls elaborate a little bit on my questions 2, 3 and 4 in my previous post above? re question 2 - (not linking files that were not in SourceFolder subfolders but were directly in SourceFolder) - i cannot seem to get anything out of it because out of description of mindepth and max...

well, ok. sorted that one out. turns out, i have some pretty limited busybox version on my NAS, so i had to install findutils and after that i replaced every 'find' in your script with '/opt/bin/find' and now it works! ) however, there are some problems the way I wanted it to be and the way it is no...

well, actually i think that is the thing: this find command with the options provided does not work - there is no "-mindepth" option available when i run this command on my NAS find * -mindepth 0 -type l | while read file;do rm "$file";done it gives again the same thing: BusyBox ...

ok Ian. Finally got back to this Symlink thing. So I took your .txt file and edited it as I thought proper. after I had finished, saved and put it in the folder of my choice on my NAS, I run "chmod a+x myscriptname.txt" via Putty (skipped sudo, as I had logged in as admin and there were no...

thank you Ian, I will try to implement that a little later and will let you know how it worked (or not) out

well, thank you anyway. will continue on their forum but re first phase, so, does that mean that auto file renaming when it is added via torrent client is not possible at all on linux? transmission does not give me that option. do you use any of these torrent clients and do you get such a situation ...

Ian, once again thank you for your really helpful guides. I have some questions to you re how do you cope with file renaming process to feed the file to MCM and how do you organize the whole process for it to happen automatically? 1) To start with, I am using Transmission as torrent client on my Qna...

hi Ian, thank you for your interesting and helpful guides, i really have found them useful, as I have recently purchased NeoTV550 I would like to ask your help though on setting up symlinks on my Qnap NAS (TS-212). I have read your guide on the subject and most likely I will use your kindly shared f...
