Build Identifier: 20110615-0604 Can't select multiple files in the file browser when using the "Advanced - Link to file in the file system" option for adding new file links. Reproducible: Always
Not quite sure I follow. You want one file in Eclipse to link to multiple files in your hard disk?
No, I want to create multiple links at once.(In reply to comment #1) > Not quite sure I follow. You want one file in Eclipse to link to multiple files > in your hard disk?

Thanks for the answer. Maybe the creation of new files and links should be in a different wizard (after all it's in the 'advanced' section, which is hidden by default, so it won't be confusing for normal users). So there could be a distinct menu item for creating links, and there you could select multiple files at once, without affecting the simple New file wizard.
