Feature request: extract symlinks as symlinks to NTFS-located targets

[tsitelov]

It would be nice if the extract procedure could recreate symlinks in an extraction target folder if the target filesystem supports them (NTFS does).

Hi, HFSExplorer can do this already if it has the proper privileges and if following symlinks is disabled when extracting.

To allow HFSExplorer to create symlinks in Windows you either need to launch the application in administrator mode or you need to enable developer mode in Windows' settings. This is because Microsoft considers symlinks to be a security hazard...

If it still doesn't work for you, then please paste the contents of the Debug console (File->Debug console) after attempting to extract symlinks. There should be some useful debug output.

It works, thank you.
Maybe it would be useful to notify the user about insufficient permission if a symbolic link is encountered.
