- os.path.islink: tell us if is a symbolic link or not - os.path.exist: tell us if the target exists or is broken - os.readlink: we can get the link target (if is relative it does not start with '/')
We can convert the target path to an absolute path and check if this path is inside current snapshot. If it is inside (and is not broken) we can allow user to browse/open it (and display it just italic). If not we can show it as broken. -- Soft links in snapshots should not be browseable https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/447841 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Back In Time Team, which is subscribed to Back In Time. Status in Back In Time: In Progress Bug description: When browsing soft links in snapshots they take you to the current directories/files without notice unless they're relative and completely contained in the snapshot. They should have a specific display and browsing them should be disabled since they might take you outside the snapshot. Even when they would work as expected it would be best showing them as non-browseable soft links. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~bit-team Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~bit-team More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
