Since you are using mapped drives on the Windows PCs: e.g.
Winshortcutter alternative install#
What are some workarounds or is there any software or plugin I can use on my Mac to easily open/find the referenced. Stay with the Windows path style and install WinShortcutter 3.5 (Freeware) on the Mac side. I'm also not using files that often that it's worth a subscription to me.

I'm all for supporting developers, but I'm working somewhere that you could call a charity and my income is meager. Hello: Ive been using WinShortcutter for a couple of years and on the relatively rare occasion that I need it, its been utter bliss for a Mac user in a PC environment. so here is the thing, i have 15 windows users and 10 mac users, this is media agency so they use big size files such as big pdfs, jpgs, adobe. I think it does precisely what I need, but requires a subscription. hi apple users, after few days searching on google about my issue i desperated turn on this forum to ask if some1 had some similar problem. I can open them with textedit and see where the actual file was, or keep my windows computer next to my Mac to be able to find the original file, but that all seems an uncomfortable ride.Īfter some long searching, I've found winshortcutter. It seems that the Mac doesn't know what to do with those files. lnk files (LNK, for link, not ink, which got me looking online with the wrong term). My problem however, is that everybody is using windows and those shortcuts are created on windows, resulting in.

I'm all for it and think it's great to have one actual file, but referenced in different folders so people can easily find it. Works great The instructions to setup the auto-shortcut-translate feature are not well written. But now they want to start using short links to safe space. I'm able to connect to the shared drives with my Mac.
