I could be wrong, but all copied symlinks point outside the snapshots or not? (they always link as /home/user/target, or do they use ../target?) There is a os python thingy that tests for symlinks, so it should be quite easy to set up a test...

Status in Back In Time: In Progress Bug description: When browsing soft links in snapshots they take you to the current directories/files without notice unless they're relative and completely contained in the snapshot. They should have a specific display and browsing them should be disabled since they might take you outside the snapshot. Even when they would work as expected it would be best showing them as non-browseable soft links. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team Post to : bit-team@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~bit-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
