    Hi, if I create a symbolic link on OSX the link appears as a .LNK file on windows. The problem is, that a .LNK file is not what makes sense as it's not transparent to applications. Example:

    If an application want's to list the content of a directory which is pointed to by a .LNK file, it fails. Because when opening the "looks like a directory" it actually opens the .LNK file. And of course this doesn't make any sense.

    Is there a way to get OSX file system symblinks mapped as Windows symlinks?
