Request: Create SysLink instead of copy file #2

Open ToMattBan opened 1 year ago

First of all, I need to thank you, this extension really helped me a lot.

I have a lot of emulated games in a lot of diferent emulators and this helps me to keep playnite "Installed" section clean.

What I want to ask is to create a option to instead copy the file to the destination path, the extension create a syslink instead.

I understand that you create the exetnsion for you use and you have the games stored in a NAS, for example. Differently from you, I store the games in my PC, so copying all files ends using a lot of disk space. This is why I'm asking for a syslink option in the extension. We could configure it with everything else on the extension settings page.

Thank you again for the extension.

So, I ended creating a fork and changing some things. Instead of copying the files, I'm now moving them.

It would be nice if you could create a config where the user could choose which type of instalation he wants.

Sadly my skills on C# are very limited, so this I couldn't create.
