SymbolicLinker is a tiny contextual menu plugin (for Puma through Leopard users) and software service (for Snow Leopard & later users) that, once installed, allows any user to create symbolic links to files inside the Finder. SymbolicLinker does this by adding a contextual menu item to the Finder that generates symbolic links to the selected files. The goal of this product is to decrease users' trips to the Terminal in order to use the "ln -s" command.

Version 2.0v3:
  • Added Portuguese and Norwegian (BokmÃ¥l and Nynorsk) localizations.

Be sure to read the installation document and you'll flawlessly be creating symbolic links in a jiffy.

Great plug-in for creating symbolic links. I used to use Terminal to create symbolic links... this makes it so much easier. The only other feature I would wish for is for it to be able to create the link where I intend to place it. Right now, the link is created in the same location as the original, making it necessary to move it afterwards.

In addition to the contextual menu command, it can also show up under Finder Services.

Outstanding way to make symbolic links to individual files.

Will not show as an option for a folder.

Control clicking has a Services Menu with the option available.

Services Menu under the Finder menu does not.

SymbolicLinker is the easiest and best way to make SymLinks in OS X.

The best thing is that it is free.

I discovered it some years ago and I'm glad to see that it is now on MacUpdate were many people can find it.

Symbolic Links are the key to power up your Dropbox or other Cloud based services.

Works as advertised. I use the service (OS X 10.6.4) to sync folders which are outside my DropBox-folder (that's how i discovered the use of simlinks); works great.

Doesn't work with Snow Leopard. Apparently no contextual menu item support for 64 bit apps in SL (including Finder), even if the CM item is 64 bit. Yikes!

The installation instructions in the DMG indicate that for Snow Leopard, users should install the ".service" version. The contextual menu ".plugin" version is only good for Leopard or earlier versions of OS X.

Great app! Despite being almost three years old, it works perfectly on my Mac Pro with OS X 10.5.5.
