Local file link doesn't work except on home/root partition (MX linux)

Replying here from the other thread. You said:

I have tried sym-links as well as uploading files to the assets folders (which is not my preference).

As you can see, the best I can get, is the document file locked message…

I don’t understand, in the following cases, which one works and which one gives “file locked” or other errors?

  • file in the /assets folder
  • symlink inside /assets folder pointing to a file outside the graph
  • symlink pointing to a file on another partition

Also, have you checked the file permissions?

And does this happens consistently with every file, no matter the content?

However in the long run I don’t really want to have to add sym-links for every file I want to link to - it will become cumbersome over time.

In that case you can just add a symlink to your whole home or other partition.
