Hello!

My SYS: is R/O so I made a link from SYS:Storage/Hollywood/ to a R/W partition.
Code:
```
> bin:ls -l SYS:Storage/
total 14
lrwxrwxrwx 1 nobody nogroup 1024 Jan  1  1970 Hollywood -> /DH0/Storage/Hollywood
drwx------ 2 nobody nogroup 1024 Nov 10  2019 NetInterfaces
-rwx------ 1 nobody nogroup 6253 Nov 10  2019 NetInterfaces.info
drwx------ 2 nobody nogroup 1024 Apr 13  2020 Screenshots
```
But AmiBrixx does not like it: "SYS:Storage/Hollywood/hollywood.000000/zip.hwp"
Code:
```
> bin:ls -lR SYS:Storage/Hollywood/
'SYS:Storage/Hollywood/':
total 1
-rwx------ 1 nobody nogroup 0 Nov 11 23:02 hollywood.000000
```
...because hollywood.000000 will be a file, not a directory.
Maybe I need a hardlink and SFS does not support it?

SFS never supported hardlinks (across partitions) and most likely never will.

You tell to Andreas.

So T: would be a better place because the files will be deleted afterwards?

Thank you, but
Code:
```
copy SYS:Storage/Hollywood/hollywood.000000/ LIBS:Hollywood/
```
didn't help.
Code:
```
> version LIBS:Hollywood/zip.hwp full
zip.hwp 1.1 (18.02.18)
[MorphOS]
```
I still get
Code:
```
Cannot write to file SYS:Storage/Hollywood/hollywodd.000000/zip.hwp
```

It's because author of the game has decided to link the plugins into the executable, and they are always extracted to that storage location and used from there no matter if the same plugins would be available globally.

I don't know why Hollywood can't write into the softlinked directory... could it be related that directory creating doesn't seem to work from the MorphOS shell into softlinks either?

System:> makelink softlink t:
System:> makedir softlink/testdir
Cannot create directory softlink/testdir
object is soft link

Is this a bug somewhere?

Other kind of file operations seem to work:
System:> echo "test" > softlink/testfile
System:> copy MorphOS.readme softlink/

@jPV
That's a good question!
"dir softlink/" works
"list softlink/" fails

As Andreas mentioned in the thread static plugins were not a design feature.
The missing flexibility seems to be suboptimal, Hollywood behaves like a docker.

What is a docker?
