Feature Request: Option to use hardlink for specific apps

dvcrn opened this issue · comments

Some apps aren't happy with softlinks and overwrite them right away. Would be nice to have a hardlink flag to create a hardlink instead of a softlink for these files.

Could be something like

[application]
name = MyApp
link_mode = hardlink

[configuration_files]
.config/MyApp/config.xml

Alternative ideas for link_mode: mode, link, sync_method

Although needs separate handling for when the sync folder is on a different drive/partition
