support for symlinks #35

Open JudsonHat opened 6 years ago

Are symlinks supported in the watch folder? I am running nntpPoster on Ubuntu 16. If I put a symlink in the watch folder, nothing happens. It looks like nntpPoster doesn't recognize it is there. Can support be implemented?

Maybe also add support to hardlink the files from the queue dir to working dirs etc. Moving big files (50+ GB) takes a while right now.

just a little thought on this request. The poster is designed in mono and intended to also run on windows on pure .net.

symlinks on windows are far less usedm so some users might have issues with this if I start using NTFS junction points.

Also I need some way to visually show an item being picked up. I havent given up yet, but I'll let it swirl in my head a bit longer to see what options I can see to deal with this.
