Provided as is...it's working for me so sorry don't have time to troubleshoot your issues (if any).
---- back story
In other OS there has been this nice feature where one could copy a file and then paste it as a link in another directory all from the context menu.
In several posts here and elsewhere I have seen requests for this (downright begging)
The current `Make Link` is fine except it has two shortcomings.
1. it puts the link in the same directory from which you must move it to where you want.
2. It adds a 'Link to' preface which most time the user will need to remove once they move the link. This is done so that it doesn't conflict with existing file being as the link will be placed in the same directory.
So after to putting a little thought to this I have come up with a couple nemo actions and couple bash scripts that does the trick!
