short cut to text file?

[solo2500]

Is there a simple way to create a shortcut on the Rpi desktop that opens a text file (buried in the file structure)?
Thanks all!

Simple, as in point and click? No, not with the standard PCManFM file manager. It's quite simple from the terminal:

Code: Select all

cd Desktop
ln -s /home/pi/Documents/wherever/thatfile.txt

That creates a soft link to /home/pi/Documents/wherever/thatfile.txt on the Desktop.

There are other files called Desktop Entries that behave more like Windows shortcuts, but they're a bit more complex to explain.
