#9 Problem with handling symlinks in selected files
If "follow symbolic links" option is enabled, cdw can't handle correctly relative links (e.g. "../some_dir/some_file"). This results in incorrect size of selected files, displayed in main application window. This may have impact on process of burning files (if linked files are large and total size of selected files is near limit of media capacity), but probably in such cases cdrecord or growisofs will complain about it. Fixing this defect may take some time.
Found in: 0.3.94 (0.3.93 possibly affected too)
Will be fixed in: ??
Temporary solutions:
- check size of directories / files to be burned with external tool (e.g. with "du -shcL <dir-name>" command)
- be careful with symbolic links
- zip / gzip files with symbolic links before burning them to optical disc
