[Gimp-docs] Where have all my pictures gone? SOLVED

[Kolbjørn Stuestøl]

SOLVED

Your (Ulf) suggestions works with "hardlink" and "copy"!

Run (using the updated tools/make_image_links.pl):
$ tools/make_image_links.pl -v --mode=hardlink images/C xml/nn/images
and then
$ tools/make_image_links.pl -v --mode=hardlink images/C html/nn/images
I also run
$ tools/make_image_links.pl -v --mode=hardlink images/common html/nn/images
to get the common images in place.

(To run "copy" I replaced the "hardlink" wit "copy".)

This resulted in html files pointing to LANG (here "nn") images when 
they exist, otherwise to C images. Just as supposed. I have not figured 
out which one of the methods is the be recommended, hardlink or copy. To 
me they seems to be equal.

I still do not know how to pass arguments through a link file in 
Windows, but don't care anymore. Perhaps when the days get shorter and 
nothing else to do …

In Windows the link files has the prefix ".lnk" added to the file name. 
This prefix do not shows up in the file listing. In the html files the 
call is set to "brushes-buttons.png", but the *real* name of the 
selected file is "brushes-buttons.png.lnk". Result: File not found. The 
symbolic links does not work satisfying in Windows. Or more correct: I 
have not found a way to get them work, if they does.

It was a very long way to the goal. But I have learned a lot! Now I have 
to celebrate in one way or other.

Well done, Ulf.
