Is this possibile?No. Not without exhaustively searching the file system to find the other links and rename them, and that would have to be something you do manually, *not* automatically triggered by a rename. What are you actually trying to do?I'm making a musical mp3s library. So I have, say, the following directory tree: + musical-library | + genres | | | + classical | | | + pop | | | + folk | | | + opera: una.furtiva.lacrima-schipa.mp3 | | casta.diva-callas.mp3 | + artists | + tito-schipa | + maria-callas | + frank-sinatra etc. Now, suppose that I want to put una.furtiva.lacrima-schipa.mp3 *also* in the tito-schipa directory, and casta.diva-callas.mp3 *also* in the maria-callas directory... That's what I'm trying to do...
I've wanted to do something like that in the past, myself. The solution I was considering (though I never actually got around to implementing it) was a FUSE-based filesystem. The idea would be that files would be stored in, say, a hidden, top-level directory and their ID3 tags scanned. The filesystem would then make the files available in, say "by-genre", "by-artist", "by-title", "by-album" and so on folders.Possibly with the ability to have multiple layers so you can get "by-artist/Queen/by-album/Greatest Hits II/*.mp3"
In other words, listing a directory would provide a live filtering of that available files, depending on the directory name. In an ideal world, changing the filename/path would alter the ID3 tags and vice versa. -- For more information, please reread.
