| Summary | 0001666: Respect symbolic links | ||||
| Description | Based on discussion in this feature request: http://www.freecadweb.org/tracker/view.php?id=1665#c4918 | ||||
| Steps To Reproduce | 1.) Create new folder and save test .fcstd file in this folder 2.) Create symbolic link to test .fcstd file (ln -s) from different directory 2.) Open the file in FreeCAD by clicking on just created symbolic link 3.) Modify the file and save the changes Expected behaviour: FreeCAD saves the changes at original test .fcstd file location.

For future reference if anybody will try to tackle this area and to provide symbolic links support for FreeCAD this is how Qt Creator deals with symbolic links: https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/commit/a8ee92a53ba4b1c4c7e2c34db27ee44ed7e9c585 Relevant discussion (don't rewrite symlink on save, rewrite target instead): https://qt.gitorious.org/qt-creator/qt-creator/merge_requests/399 |

@triplus can you find a more up-to-date source? since Qt seems to have moved their repo. |
