Re: Win64 FS redirectors and Cygwin

It's a valid OS path. The unfortunate side effect of its virtuality is that it's not listed in a readdir call, so file completion doesn't work. However, there's a funny workaround. Just start an elevated bash:

   $ cd /cygdrive/c/Windows
   $ export CYGWIN=winsymlinks
   $ ln -s temp-file-name sysnative
   $ cmd /c ren temp-file-file.lnk sysnative.lnk

s/temp-file-file/temp-file-name/




Thanks, this works nicely.


A minor nit with the commands, the ln directories should be switched around, otherwise temp-file-name.lnk gets placed in sysnative as I've found out.
