I have the following post-processing settings configured:
[x] Move downloads to Destination Folder
[x] Keep original folder (i.e. copy)?
This all works, but it creates a duplicate copy of all the files on my hard drive, which takes up a lot of unnecessary space. Is there any way to make Headphones copy recursively using hardlinks instead?
Progress
Unfortunately, I'm not very familiar with python. I did notice that headphones uses shutil.copytree to copy the download to the destination directory. Per this SO answer, shutil supports an option for creating hardlinks instead:
shutil.copytree(src, dst, copy_function=os.link)
but according to these docs, this optional argument was only added in Python 3.2?
I also don't know if you'd want to hide this behind a config option, rather than making it the default behavior.
What are the chances we could get this option implemented?
