Hi! I'm a newbie at Slitaz. I'm using rolling of February 1st, 2015.

How to graphically create a shortcut to a specific file(eg, a PDF file)?

I know how to create symbolic shortcuts in a terminal, by typing “ln –s [target] [link]”, but I don’t know how to use Pcmanfm to create them. When I do a right click on a file, there’s no “Create shortcut” option.

Although I know that “Linux is not Windows”, is it possible to graphically create a shortcut?
If not, is it possible to include this option in Pcmanfm? It could be very handy to beginners that came from Windows (like me).

Thanks in advance.

Using PCManFM:

Select file, press menu "Edit" > "Create Link...". Select folder where you want to put link, click OK.
