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

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.
