Lazarus project files in a symbolic link folder

[Igor Kokarev]

For some reason I use a symbolic link for a folder where I store a Lazarus project ("ln -s ...").

However when I open a Lazarus project in a symbolic link folder, Lazarus shows real paths for all project files, including .lpi file.

Is it possible force Lazarus "think" that a symbolic link folder is a "real" folder?

On Windows it works correctly with "mklink /j ...".

In Windows mklink /j creates a HARD link, not a symbolic link. In macOS you cannot create hard links to directories, only symbolic links.

Thanks, I've understood.
