I.e. that Lychee creates a symlink to the files instead of moving them after import.?\r\n\r\nThanks, K"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/electerious/Lychee/issues/comments/192500292","html_url":"https://github.com/electerious/Lychee/issues/468#issuecomment-192500292","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/electerious/Lychee/issues/468","id":192500292,"user":{"login":"electerious","id":499088,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/499088?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious","html_url":"https://github.com/electerious","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/electerious/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-03-04T22:29:02Z","updated_at":"2016-03-04T22:29:02Z","body":"Lychee needs to rotate the original photo when it's a jpeg containing a EXIF orientation. We need to do this to show the photo consistent across browsers. Import and link isn't planned, because it adds a lot of new problems regarding incorrect permissions. You might want to take a look at [lycheesync](https://github.com/GustavePate/lycheesync) which a link mode. Could be exactly what you want :)"}}
