Hidden symbolic links to events images

Post by alon »

Hello,

What is the purpose of the hidden symbolic links that point to specific events' image folders? For example /var/www/zm/events/1/<year>/<month>/<day>/.52059 -> 08/09/08

Within Zoneminder, is there a way to disable creating these symbolic links?

I am asking because Dropbox "converts" symbolic links to actual directories. This causes all the events' images folders to be duplicated resulting in double the size of the events directory.

Thank You
