Feature request: adding links pointing to files in thought folders
Well, I don't think removing is the same thing as fixing in this case, because I actually want this feature very badly! Can you guys provide it? I need this freedom to have lists of files in one thought, BUT being able to comment on the individual files by linking individual thoughts to the individual files in question.
btw., please make it set the path relative to the brain root. So if I move the brain, the links to the files in the thought folders would still work!

Just to get this addition to the request the deserved attention:
I want to add an addition to my request. Maybe you can add a fixer or automatic converter to the feature? That if it detects a Windows shortcut in a thought folder pointing to a file in another thought folder, that it then converts it to the PB file link.
And that I can drag an attachment from a thought to another to create the link directly without having to open the folder first to add the file.

Again just to be sure everyone else see this too:
Do remember to vote otherwise PB team won't know whether this feature is really needed by more than a couple of (supposedly) "fanatics". Although it seems this feature made it onto their engineer's feature list, it doesn't say anything about when to expect this! The more demand, the higher (I assume) it gets in their (at least mental) list.

Btw. using an Accelerator to open the thought folders is really advised for this workaround, which is why I'm glad it's possible :) thnx to PB team! Really a nice one....

My forum update:
YES! at least I can move on with the migration, as I've found a good enough workaround for now. Although it will break if I move the brain. And it requires an additional step of opening the second thought folder instead of just one and dragging to the other thought. But it's not that bad for a workaround even after 1000's.
The workaround is to create Windows shortcuts outside PB after opening the individual thought folders. I won't move my brain soon, so for those links that will break I can relink after the feature is provided.

Btw. the idea is to mainly use PersonalBrain to organize ALL of my files instead of Windows Explorer/Directory Opus. And this feature is an absolute MUST for the migration to have the added value it has the potential for!

Being forced to add ONE attachment per THOUGHT to be able comment specificially on it is just STUPID! The only reason this restriction would be enforced is because it has implications which doesn't get the needed resources/priority to be dealt with!
