Description
Really useful program. Have recently come across an issue where it works fine in a windows command prompt but fails when run in a bash shell or powershell administrator mode.
The reason is that in windows there are some hidden symlinks that are recursive. These do not show up in windows explorer even with the flag to show hidden folders.
"c:/users/simon/AppData/Local/Application Data"->"/users/simon/AppData/Local
I will add to the ignore folders as a workaround. However perhaps there is some way to ignore these hidden links?
