<p>Why not? This kind of (partial) symlink support is quite easy to implement. And the more restrictions users have, the worse their experience is.<br />
(I've just stumbled upon this issue randomly, when added some folder - not even thinking at that time that it is a symlink - and, after some time, found out that files there were indexed and my exclusion rule was silently ignored)</p></div></div><br /><div><strong>REPOSITORY</strong><div><div>R293 Baloo</div></div></div><br /><div><strong>REVISION DETAIL</strong><div><a href="https://phabricator.kde.org/D16878">https://phabricator.kde.org/D16878</a></div></div><br /><div><strong>To: </strong>poboiko, Frameworks, Baloo<br /><strong>Cc: </strong>bruns, kde-frameworks-devel, ashaposhnikov, michaelh, astippich, spoorun, ngraham, abrahams<br /></div>
