SUMMARY
When scanning files, Filelight treats every hardlinked file as its own file,
rather than skipping it, thereby bloating directory sizes
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
1. Choose directory with big enough file
2. Hardlink it in the same directory
3. Scan with Filelight
4. Observe same file size being shown twice
OBSERVED RESULT
Filelight naively displays hardlinked files as being separate from the original
EXPECTED RESULT
Filelight skips over hardlinked files, just like it does symbolic ones
