Bug Description
I have recently moved my massive ~/Photos directory to a separate hard drive, so the setup is currently:
lrwxrwxrwx 1 anarcat anarcat 11 2019-02-07 19:37 /home/anarcat/
I used to simply import pictures in that directory with RPD, but now it fails to import any picture with the following errors:
Unable to create the photo DSCF8345.RAF in /home/anarcat/
Error: 18 Invalid cross-device link
Obviously, it’s simple to change the target directory in the GUI: just use /srv/Photos instead of ~/Photos but I feel it’s strange that such a mistake should occur - shouldn’t RPD be able to follow that symlink without such a glitch?
This was originally reported on the Pixls.us forum, where I was requested to file this as a bug:

I also noticed this was previously mentioned as part of multiple bugs in https:/
