I'd like to have a drawer with just the boxart (i.e. the .info launchers) like in this screenshot:

(from this thread, but link to actual files is broken)

Looking at the AmigaDOS manual, I've tried the MAKELINK command to make both hard and soft links to the launcher (.info) but when I double click this new linked file, it complains that it cannot find the .slave. So it appears they behave differently than they do in say Gnome/linux or Windows.

Does anyone know how to make this a reality? I don't like the look of iGame at all. For the time being I leave them out on workbench but it's more cluttered than I like.
