How should I go about creating a Windows Shortcut (.lnk) in Protontricks?

Open chexo3 opened this issue 1 year ago • 1 comments

Hello! I wanted to have a windows shortcut in C:\users\steamuser\Documents\Rockstar Games\GTA V\User Music pointing to my music folder in Linux $HOME/Music so I can have Self Radio in GTA V on Steam.

I tried both graphically (via Wine Explorer) and via Wine CMD using mklink /j. Neither worked. I don't recall the exact error mklink.exe gave, it was something about not being able to find a folder. I can run it again if needed.

Is there something obvious I'm missing?

It might be easier to copy the files directly under the "User Music" directory. You could do this by opening the GUI for the game in question, "Select the default wineprefix" -> "Browse files" -> browsing to "drive_c/users/steamuser/Documents/Rockstar Games/GTA V/User Music" and copying the files there. Using "Run explorer" to browse files might not show all the files due to using the sandboxed environment.
