Yeah, this whole "specify linking intent by tagging each file" concept was a cool idea, but it rapidly became annoying after like 3-4 instance tags. And then for a few of my universal files, I've run up against the 255 character limit common to most filesystems.
Environment and Version
This is going to be an issue for ext4, NTFS, APFS, Btrfs, and pretty much any filesystem anyone would use.
This is not specific to any (current) version of EnderChest and is instead a flaw in the very premise of this design.
Steps to Reproduce
Take a given file and attempt to tag it across enough instances to hit that 255 character limit. A good example would be my screenshots folder, which I want shared across all instances.
Workaround
If I have one file or symlink named:
screenshots@instance one@instance two@ instance three
I could create a second one that continued on
screenshots@instance four
that pointed to the first file (or the common target)
Severity
This, compounding with a few other QoL issues surfacing from daily driving EnderChest for the last six months, invalidates the entire fundamental design of this project.
Desired Outcome
Pick a new approach!
Urgency
I do not believe EnderChest can "go live" using this paradigm.
