Background:

my project has many directories each containing many files and many symlinks to other files and directories located in other directories in the same project...  this makes the tagging difficult to navigate since each symbol shows up in N instances.

More info:

I invoked SE with the option -ssymlink and I did File -> File Manager -> New File List and I see this

( actual files have non-zero file size, symlinks have zero file size ):

Another way to look at this is as follows:

when adding files to a project, a file should not be added if it is already added
( but this would be more work than checking if the file is really a symlink )

$0.02 suggestion:

see attached, would skip symlinks, i.e. not add a file resulting from following a symlink.

This would avoid "duplicate" files, makes it easier to navigate tagged objects.

From Gemini

Code: [Select]
using System;
using System.IO;

namespace ListFilesExcludingSymbolicLinks
{
    class Program
    {
        static void Main(string[] args)
        {
            string folderPath = @"C:\Your\Folder\Path"; // Replace with the actual folder path

            try
            {
                foreach (string filePath in Directory.EnumerateFiles(folderPath))
                {
                    FileAttributes fileAttributes = File.GetAttributes(filePath);

                    // Check if the file is a symbolic link
                    if ((fileAttributes & FileAttributes.ReparsePoint) == FileAttributes.ReparsePoint)
                    {
                        Console.WriteLine($"Skipping symbolic link: {filePath}");
                        continue;
                    }

                    Console.WriteLine(filePath);
                }
            }
            catch (Exception ex)
            {
                Console.WriteLine($"Error: {ex.Message}");
            }
        }
    }
}

1. Create a new C# console application project.
2. Paste the code into the Program.cs file.
3. Replace the placeholder folder path with the actual path you want to scan.
4. Run the application.

ok, good.  I've discovered that all the files in the folder I was testing with have the "L" attribute - most likely because it's within my OneDrive folder.  You could probably ask Gemini or Github copilot to write you a windows app that can output a list of "non-symbolic" files and folders!  The dir command knows which files in my onedrive folder are real symbolic links.

I appear to be getting correct display for dir /al and dir /a-l.

Graeme, thanks, I'll try that.

I was incorrect. By default, SlickEdit has symbolic link support disabled. I have corrected my previous post. An invocation option must be used to enable some level of symbolic link support.

You can use the "import" button in the project properties dialog to import the list of files and folders from a text file.

Theoretically you should be able to create a file list for importing, using the windows dir command
dir /s /b /a-L

/s recurse
/b bare format
/a-L   files that do not have the L attribute  - this is for "reparse points" i.e. symlinks and junctions

However the /a-L switch is not working for me.  /a-L gets me nothing,  /aL gets me everything.
Maybe it will work better for you.
Also you can exclude folders with /A-D.

More specifically, I was looking for being able to exclude following symlinks in the Add Tree project dialog

( i.e. Project Properties -> Files -> Add Tree )

SlickEdit does have some support for symlinks on Windows. By default, symbolic link support is off. Specify the +ssymlinkdirs invocation option if you want SlickEdit to recognize symbolic links directories. Specify the +ssymlink invocation option if you want SlickEdit to recognize symbolic links in files and directories. Checking for symbolic links on Windows is expensive even with caching optimizations. On Windows, SlickEdit doesn't have features for excluding symbolic links in various ways.

BTW: found another app that recognizes symlinks in Windows...

( it appears Windows dir command figures out that a filename is a symlink )

This is what my directory looks like (using Windows dir command):

 Volume in drive C has no label.
