I have a have a symlink foo in /Users/myaccount which points to /Volumes/foo. In the Finder or file chooser, the symlink does not show up as directory, so I can't expand it to select /Users/myaccount/foo/bar, but instead I have to double click it which then let's my select /Volumes/foo/bar.
How to tell the Finder or file chooser that it should directory symlinks like directories, so I can expand them?
ls -l /Users/myaccountshow a valid link destination (the part after the->)? – kopischke Oct 27 '11 at 12:18ls -l /Users/myaccount? I just tested again on my system, and it works fine even with ejectable media that gets unmounted between accesses, at least on Lion… Also, your OS X version and a screenshot of the Finder window would be very helpful too! – kopischke Oct 28 '11 at 8:46ls -l /Users/myaccountreturnslrwxr-xr-x 1 mike staff 29 Jan 24 2011 foo -> /Volumes/foo– Mike L.
