Symlinks

Hey Teracopy legends! Just wondering if it might be possible to add an option/preference to ignore symlinks? If I inadvertently backup a folder with symlinks in it the copy process spirals out while it copies all the actual symlinked files across. Because Teracopy doesn't necessarily know the size of the files that are symlinked it can fill the entire target disk :0

You'd score extra bonus points if it could copy/recreate the symlinks in the target directory somehow.

Many thanks!

    This is an ESSENTIAL feature in any copy program. Surprised this wasn’t added as soon as Windows added junctions.
