I'm using "Folder Compare" to do my backups to a local external hard disk and a cloud service.
I've nicely set up my file and folder exclusions and that all works nicely - except for two things, the second one being:
I have a number of directories that are symbolic links to other directories (and I also have a handful of files that are symbolic links). Now I did see an option that says "Follow symbolic link" - I'd actually like to have an option to do the opposite - ignore those and don't show them in the file/folder compare window at all.
I can see options for excluding files based on their DOS attributes like "read-only", "hidden" etc. - but I cannot seem to find an option to tell BC3 to skip/ignore symbolic links (both for directories as well as files).
Any ideas? Thoughts? Hidden options?
