Your issue as it stands currently consists solely of the title "Symlinks are still not working on Mac OS X", as the template is not filled in at all. This makes it really hard to know what issue you are having with symlinks. Please provide some details to at least give somebody a chance to be able to help you.

Well, it really should not be that hard, it's the same issue as it's always been. A symlink in the sidebar is just a 'dead folder icon with a chain link' ... doing absolutely nothing when clicking it.

Which version of ST are you using? which file system? have you tried right clicking on the folder and choosing "reveal link source"? see #2325 (comment).

Yes, tried everything. But that 'right clicking ... ' is just crappy UX. It used to work just fine and as expected. Now, not so much.

@blaasvaer, in your first response, you said:

However your second comment was:

As @keith-hall asked, can you provide more details about what is working versus what is not? As it stands, you've both said that it has never worked and also used to work, which is hard to understand.

The problem is that if there are symlinks with similar names only the first found will be openable and the others won't.

eg I have /www/admin/media and symlink to /www/frontend/media then only www/admin/media is openable while the second one has the lock icon.
If the symlink is the other way around, then again only the first found one is openable (www/admin/media). this is only for folders.

With tiles both are openenable.
Can be extra tricky if something is openend via SMB which doesn't show symlinks directly but only folders. But then sublime text can't do anything anyway.

Trick is to sed exclude folders for all the folders that are the symlinks.

eg in the above sample if www/frontend/media is the actual folder and the other is the symlink to set an exclude for the www/admin/media folder so that the correct folder is actually openenable.
