psd will delete existing profile symlinks

[ian-kelling]

If you already symlink your profile, simply running psd p, which the documentation gives the impression it won't do anything bad, will remove your symlink, making your browser fail to start.

Interesting... Which browser are you using? I would like to setup your example and testing.

[ian-kelling]

Firefox. Before I knew about psd, I symlinked my profile directory to somewhere else ~/.mozilla/firefox/profile -> /some/other/location. Then I installed psd, shut down firefox, ran psd p, started firefox, firefox broken.

Took a few minutes to figure out the symlink was deleted.

If you want to use psd, please consider editing ~/.mozilla/firefox/profiles.ini and defining the path to your profile therein like this:

[Profile0]
Name=banking
IsRelative=0
Path=/path/to/3z9a7omu.profile

Symlinked profiles are not supported at this time... let me see how feasible it is to implement. I will update the documentation and also consider having psd bail if it detects a symlinked starting point. Thank you for reporting.
