[macOS] How To Create Hardlinks
[macOS] How To Create Hardlinks
Hi
Cannot seem to find any tutorial explaining how to create hardlinks in filebot?
What I am trying to do is Hardlink? to music track on single release in Plex and put hardlink into album.
One problem if I can get this to work is what about metadata needs to be different from single metadata
Hope this makes seanse?
Any help would be appreciated.

Hi Rednoah,
Tried what you said got error "no match to rename. <please load file> and <fetch data> first" ?
Don't need to rename file just want to create a "hardlink"?
Yes already watched "getting started" video was no help?
Just to clarify the scenerio
I have one copy of an mp3 music file for the single release but this file appears on many album releases so want to create "hardlinks" from all albums releases to single release.
As regards to the comment about the id3 tag(metadata), I presume that if I change id3 tag in "hardlink" the source file will change as well, and vice-versa?
Regards

Yes, as both files are the original file. Every "file" that you think of as "file" is actually a "hardlink". If you create an additional "hardlink" for a "file" then that new "file" is equally the original file.

Hi Rednoah,
Thanks for everything but my synology file system does not support "Hardlinks"
Guess I will just have waste space LOL

Hi Rednoah,
My file format is EXT3 which apparently does NOT support hardlinks?
Have not got a clue how to upload my screen shot even after reading the "Screenshots" link.
Is there any other way.

EDIT:
As for screenshots, you just go to snipboard.io and follow the instructions, take a screenshot, paste it on snipboard.io, and lastly copy & paste the URL address of the screenshot here so that we can click on it to view the screenshot as well. I cannot really add more to that. I don't know where you could have gotten stuck.

Hi rednoah,
Thanks for your help on this error.
Hardlinks not going to work for me because cannot have different id3 tag for singles release and album releases with the same source file.
