Indeed, it works. A fast "cp -rs" solved it. Anyways, I'd rather prefer a less "manual" method. Thank you very much, Pablo.
Hi Jairo, glad to read it helped. But an open question (to Hans, Wolfgang and other LMTX developers) is why softlinks in Linux (in Unix, my guess) only work for files and not for directories. Sorry, but this doesn’t make sense to me. Many thanks for your help, Pablo

Hi Jairo,
I experience something very similar in Linux too.
LMTX follows softlinks to files, but no softlink to directories.
I don’t know why this happens, but it behaves this way.
Just in case it helps,
Pablo
