[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Preventing destroying of symbolic/hard links in Windows OS. (#1270)

[elextr]

@biv91 The basic file write method is intended to be simple and fast, especially useful for slow remote filesystems.  We regularly get complaints about other save methods being too slow.  Your changes mean it now writes all zeros and then overwrites with the data, potentially doubling the transfers.

Also that change has nothing to do with overwriting links on windows.  Please separate the changes.
