An Alfred workflow to create a symbolic link to a designated file or directory. The file/directory to link against is designated by typing the keyword ”sym”  followed by the item’s path in the Alfred dialog box, or  by first selecting the item in the Finder and then using Alfred’s built-in Finder Selection action menu. The new symbolic link is saved to the Desktop by default.

This workflow is for use with Alfred v. 2.x and will not work with earlier versions. This is a port of the similarly named Alfred v. 1 extension.

Installation:

  1. download and unpack the .zip archive: Create Symbolic Link
  2. after unpacking the .zip, double-click the “Create Symbolic Link.alfredworkflow” to install.

Cheers.
