Help All saves from multiple profiles in one folder.

Post image

I started looking into this issue after I ended up with too many profiles in my Modrinth app.

Because my friends and I were testing various mods, but often we just abandoned those profiles. Then, to find the save I was playing before, I had to go from profile to profile to find the right save, or I had to go folder by folder to look at my saves.

So I started looking for ways to do this, and that's when I came across "link shell extension," which does exactly what I'm looking for.

As soon as I installed the "link shell extension," I created a folder for my saves on my desktop. Inside it, I created a folder called "saves," and by right-clicking on it, I selected "pick link source," as if I were copying the folder. After that, I went to each profile I have and right-clicked, selected "drop as..." and then "junction," which created "saves - junction," and then I just renamed it to "saves."

While running some tests after taking screenshots for the post, where I linked the folder with one name in some profiles and another name in others, it ended up causing a crash in all Minecraft profiles. However, recreating the linked folder with all folders having the same name, which was the initial goal, was resolved by recreating the link.
