Is there any way to get the DSM-520/320 to recognize Windows shortcuts (to files or folders)? The DLink media server does not appear to. I would like to script something such that I maintain a DB of my video file names with various attributes and their actual locations. I would then use a script to build a directory structure and would navigate through to find a specific file by multiple paths (without having multiple copies of the file).
For example, say I have a file which was made in 2007 and has my buddy "Bob" in it. I am hoping to create a directory structure like the following:
Video
All
Year
2006
2007
2008
People
Mary
Sam
Bob
Me
I would put the video file in the "All" directory and have shortcuts to it in Year\2007 as well as People\Bob. My goal here would be to be able to easily locate the video searching either by date or person. Of course, if there's an easier way to achieve the same results, I'm open to that too.
