So i basically have a Symlinked Folder from another Drive on my Desktop as a Shortcut but it doesnt seem to appear at all in my Blender File Explorer sadly :(

Does anyone by chance know a Fix or do i need some Extra Estension for it? >.> Im on Blender 5.1 if it matters :P

I use the Blender Package provided by my ARch Linux Distro :P
Also unless i misremember that its only an Issue with Blenders Internal File Browser but i cant seem to active the Native File Browser like back in my Windows Days it seems :(

So I just tested it in my system (with Blender 5.1.1) and I can See and open symlinks with the Blender file open Dialog.

I would still assume it's a problem of how you setup your symlink or a permission issue and not a problem of blender.
