Question: Does rdfind prioritise symlinks ? #125

I'm a newb so apologies if this question is a dupe or stupid. If it is then it may be an idea to explain this clearly for the sake of any other numpties like me.

If I run rdfind -makesymlinks and then decide I actually want to remove the duplicates and then run rdfind -deleteduplicates true can I guarantee that it will only ever remove the symlinks rather than the source that the the other symlinks point to ?

cheers Simon
