File browser cannot handle symlinks #5

Closed falkTX closed 3 years ago

falkTX commented 3 years ago

I have a /Shared symlink to some common useful files inside an external disk, fluida file browser cannot enter this folder, I am guessing because it is a symlink. That makes it a bit painful, because then I have to to manually go to /media/falktx/.../Personal/...etcetc

This is a bit worse than I thought. I simply cant pick any file in my system.

I said incorrect things in the previous post, my /Shared/ folder is not a symlink, but the mount point for a external XFS formatted drive. fluida cannot enter it. then, /home/falktx/Personal/ IS the symlink. fluida cannot enter this one either. Here is a video showing the issue https://falktx.com/data/carla-fluida-browser.mp4

The issue was that I use d_type from dirent to check if content is a file or a directory. Some file systems didn't support that. I've fixed that now by using stat on entry's which return DT_UNKNOWN.
