soft link is symbolic link (windows7 command: mklink ) like unix

and the "everything", i mean is use his way directly read NTFS file infomation,can fastest search files,not use that program.

>> soft link is symbolic link (windows7 command: mklink ) like unix
ok, just to make sure we were talking about the same thing.
Symbolic links are already supported when navigating. I have added the "create soft link" menu entry to the list of things to do.

>>and the "everything", i mean is use his way directly read NTFS file infomation,can fastest search files,not use that program.
Let's see what David thinks about it

I have being working on this today. I found a small bug in saving the directory listing (which only happens when we overwrite an existing file), but beside that I have not been able to reproduce any problem (I tested with Korean characters using several folders).
Can you explain better what is the problem you are having (maybe with some screenshots)?

i try few times, maybe is in root folder name in chinese, then its not correct, change to english ,then be correct.
and i find UNDO function is weird, when change folder name,UNDO can back to original name,
but i change folder name and delete one file, UNDO is change back folder name, not undelete file.
and i drag empty folder into another folder, UNDO is change back folder name, this UNDO can't go back some step.

my environment is win7, explorer 1.2 and 1.2 nightly build are samething
