bug: Link dereferencing doesn't respect `-X` on main branch about eza

[sbatial]

So this is the result on the commit where the option was added.

And here is ls (where the short form is -L btw. -X does sorting)

The only difference I can see (with the information that is displayed at least) is the file size.
The date is correct (link creation without flag. corresponding file creation with it) but the size is always the one of the linked file.
(Which is also still the case on the current main branch)

Well, I guess we've learned that I should write more comprehensive issues...

[cafkafk]

Broken symlinks does work on main

[cafkafk]

symlinks to directories are acting as expected

[cafkafk]

Links to regular files are broken

[cafkafk]

I've now confirmed that the error was introduced in 0397d5d and 5cc7bdf (those two should have been squashed, but it's too late now imo)

This was hairier than I expected, I'll revisit this at a later time when I've gotten some perspective.

I’d interested to understand what’s wrong in the last screenshot, because it totally does both what I’d expect it to do and what ls is doing

I've completely lost track of what the issue was tbh >_<

I have a vague feeling I discussed this somewhere on element recently, but tbh I can't remember. Maybe @sbatial can?

So the issue title is kinda the opposite of what the issue is/was I think
See the comment that led to the issue

I noted that the file information (date etc.) is already dereferenced even without the flag.

I'm currently looking into whether I can still reproduce the issue and if it has already been fixed.

That's all I can see/remember.
I'm not in the Element group so if you discussed it recently, 'twasn't with me 😅
