[Feature Request] Option to disable resolving symlinks about testdisk

[cgsecurity]

I am unable to reproduce the problem. Do you have the problem with latest 7.2-WIP version ?
Symlinks are ignored by Testdisk. There is also some code to prevent infinite loop when parsing directories.

I have tried with the following disk image

├── dir1
│   ├── dir2
│   │   ├── file2
│   │   ├── symlink_dir1 -> ../../dir1/
│   │   ├── symlink_dir3 -> ../dir3
│   │   ├── symlink_parent -> ..
│   │   └── symlink_root -> /
│   ├── dir3
│   │   └── file3
│   ├── file1
│   ├── symlink_parent -> ..
│   └── symlink_root -> /
├── lost+found
└── symlink_root -> /

Using testdisk to copy everything, the destination contains

.
├── dir1
│   ├── dir2
│   │   └── file2
│   ├── dir3
│   │   └── file3
│   └── file1
└── lost+found

I have not tried it with the latest version (this was a little while ago); I'll have to do that.

no, it's definitely still doing it.

I recovered some files (and stopped at some point, because it was looping again), and here's the result of tree on the dir. You can see that it recurses at line 1597, where it enters the home directory again.
