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


Someone on Ubuntu 24 with Blender installed as snap, had a similar problem and apparently found a workaround (issue thread here)
I tested on Zorin OS 18 (so Ubuntu 24.04 i think) with Blender installed as Flatpak, symlinks seem to work without problem.
Nope sadly did not help :(
As were talking about not External Data but the Folder where the Projects .blend File is stored itself :(
