Thanks for your report! This has been fixed in the git repo upstream, and I will include this soon in a fix in Debian too. (I will most probably package a new git snapshot). However, please notice that upstream has solved the problem by reverting other fixes to make copying symlinks to images in geeqie also symlink at the copy target, and instead dereferencing the symlink target. This means that the result target when copying a symlink to an image will be a copy of the image the symlink targets, and not a new symlink with the same target as the source.
