    Hello.
    Thanks for reading my topic.
    Extracting the bforartists downloaded tar file are created several files and symbolics links too.
    Converting the tar file to 7Z is more compression. Thus I had created an 7Z file with the extracted files from tar file.
    Strange detail is inside of 7Z file not was copied several files (symbolic links).

    My question is trying use bforartist in an path folder not having any symbolic links does problems ?
    Well the software load correctly. In moment I not have done any tests.

    Have an nice day.

    Hi aug,

    Do we talk about linux or windows here? And what do you mean with symbolic links?

    Kind regards

    Reiner

    Many thanks,

    I am unfortunately lost with this problem, sorry. It could be a rights problem. So that 7zip simply does not pack these files. It can also be that it hides these files away but they still exists. I have no clue. Maybe somebody else has.
