I think you'r on to something!
---------- Post updated at 02:24 PM ---------- Previous update was at 02:21 PM ----------
I did this within file manager:
- created folder called "test"
- highlighted "test"
- clicked on "Selected" menu item
- clicked on "Copy as Link" (that brought up a window where I could choose were to put an apparent copy of test AND it lets me rename it)
- so I named the copy "testZ"
- clicked OK
Now, there is a folder for "test" and a folder for "testZ"
Soooo,

Just to refresh, I stupidly renamed my "lib" directory to be "lib_old".
So, could I use the "Copy as Link" option I just discussed to create a copy of "lib_old" with the new name of just "lib." Now, there are 6gb of data in the folder, so it might take a while...
But would this work, can I try it safely?

So, after reading the wiki article on symlinks, I should be able to symlink the lib directory, then rename the lib_old directory back to just "lib" and finally, delete the symlink.
Sound good?
