Also, now the warning is also shown when creating shelves

Windows - PlasticFS: Serveral improvements in symlink support

PlasticFS now uses its own reparse point solver. Now relative symlinks are allowed to freely reach the mount point and outside the workspace.

$wk> mklink /D to_workspace .
symbolic link created for to_workspace <<===>> .

$wk> cd to_workspace

$wk\to_workspace> dir

04/12/2023  11:41 AM    <DIR>          .
04/12/2023  11:41 AM    <DIR>          ..
04/12/2023  11:41 AM    <SYMLINKD>     to_workspace [.]

Some additional corner cases involving junctions are now fixed too.

== SYMLINKS LIMITATIONS ==

1) This feature is in an early stage of development, so you can expect minor bugs to happen.

2) PlasticFS always creates symlinks as files. By trying to access them, they will be automatically solved and converted to directories. However, this step might confuse external programs that do not expect it.

* This happens anytime you create a new workspace or under some special conditions involving "undo" and "update" operations.

* Windows Explorer will force this conversion, but you might have to refresh the window the first time it shows a symlink.
