[Github-comments] [geany/geany] Not honoring symbolic links on windows when saving (#1533)

[elextr]

> The only thing that put me off (and the reason for this report) is that on my linux system geany (using the default configuration) honours symbolic links (those created by ln -s), which partly contradicts your statement.

Ahh, on more consideration it will depend on which saving method you use:

1. if neither atomic or GIO saving is selected Geany opens and writes to the original file, that should honor the link, 

2. if you use atomic file saving it creates a new file and renames it over the specified path, that will replace the link.  This is what my system was set to when I tested yesterday.

3. if you use GIO file saving it will do the same as 2 unless there is a problem in which case it will do 1, so its anybodys guess, but on most normal local files it will replace the link.  This is the default option.
