File symlinks not copied
« on: September 30, 2024, 15:37:38 »
When copying file symlinks or directories that contain file symlinks, the symlinks are not copied.

In core settings / tab "Filesystem" / section "Junctions and Symbolic links", the option "when copying or moving" is set to "Copy or move the link itself".

  • When copying with drag&drop, the file symlinks are not copied at all.
  • When copying with copy&paste, the file to which the symlink points is copied, not the symlink itself.

Moving file symlinks works as expected with drag&drop and with copy&paste. The symlinks themselves are moved in both cases and not the files they points to.

With copy it should be the same way.
