Bug ID: 357478
Summary: Option to follow symbolic links when copying
Product: krusader
Version: 2.4.0-beta3 "Single Step"
Platform: unspecified
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: wishlist
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Consider a use case when a user copies a symbolic link to a removable media.
In many cases it does little sense to copy the link itself because when media
is used in another device the link becomes invalid. There is no option how to
copy the content of the target file in Krusader when copying a link.
Still there are cases when user might wish to copy the link itself - for
example if it is relative and points into the copied tree. Another use case is
when the user wants to make a backup, i. e. mirror the source tree as is.
Both use cases are equally valid and yet Krusader supports only the latter.
Reproducible: Always
Expected Results:
There should be an option to "follow" symbolic links while copying. Probably
the best place would be the "copy dialog".
