v0.10.2 - symbolic link folders not supported?

[EMCP]

attempting now to place a symbolic link inside the dataset/ area, but nothing seems to get picked up.. furthermore trying the trick of creating a dataset with the same name as the folder is blocked due to the folder already existing.. leaving me stuck with nothing loaded.

Question is, are symbolic link folders supported for storing datasets?

I am running on a mac, with v 0.10.2 and docker-compose up to get started

Weird... I changed the code a bit to see if that fixes the issue.

You'll have to wait for the docker image to build (about an hour) and then in the docker-compose file change from web-server:stable to web-server:latest

I think I will go ahead and close, haven't tried to directly use symbolic links and do not know when I can get to testing it again
