Dropbox symlinks #862

Hi,

I am wondering if symlinks in dropbox are supported by orgzly. I have a huge folder of .org files organised in a meaningful hierarchy, but I only want to select a few of them for syncing with my mobile.

What I did :

  1. created a separate dropbox folder for orgzly
  2. created symlinks to the desired org files - the links are in the orgzly folder while the originals remain in the org directory
  3. added the orgzly dropbox folder as a repository in orgzly app on android.

Issue: Although the symlinked files show up, their content is not displayed. If I put the actual files in the orgzly folder, their content is displayed correctly. Is this expected behaviour?

Thanks very much!
