I'm trying to make a shortcut (in Windows understanding !) on the desktop to a folder on a NAS-drive.
When the user 2-clicks on the icon on the desktop I want a window with the content of the folder on the NAS-drive to show up and the user should then be able to dive into more folders and/or open existing documents in these folders.
Simple and easy work during the day in the office ... and made with a few click in Windows enviroment !
Why is something SO simple SO complicated to do here ?
I'm using Lubuntu 14.04 on an old ThinkPad connected to the Windows network and presented to Lubuntu by using Gigolo.
I can just as in Windows MANUALLY click through all the icons to the remote folder and open whatever document I want - so I believe the rights is OK.
None of the methods on Google using right-click is working - the item "make shortcut" is'n't in the menu !
I then tried using the XTerminal:
ln -s 'path to the folder on the NAS-drive' 'path to the desktop'
It gives me an !-icon on the desktop, yeah, but try when open it absolutely NOTHING happens !
How is this done ... and I would prefere doing it graphically like in Windows, but I have a feeling it can't be done this way ... how then ?
