Symlink aren't detected #235

Closed MathiasDPX closed 1 week ago

MathiasDPX commented 3 weeks ago

I tried to create symlink to another note to have publics and private note I made the link with ln -s /home/mathias/notes/'Dream Dimension.md' 'Dream Dimension.md'

To be sure, I made a .md file named test inside with Hello World! inside

I see the test note but not the symlink

Odd. From what I can see, there's no reason it shouldn't be listed. I'll try and get some time to replicate locally and come back to you.

@MathiasDPX - Ah, I think the problem is using symlinks (soft links) with Docker. Although the link is there, and visible to flatnotes, when flatnotes tries to open it, it fails as the file it points to can't be reached.

I think you have to set them up in a very particular way in order for the link to work both inside and outside the container, and even then it doesn't look advisable.

Hard links appear to work ok though, so maybe that would work for your use case?
