Possible bug with symlinks on linux ? [message #35101]

TheIde opens correctly symlinks on Linux; when saving them it overwrites the symlink with the saved file instead of working on the linked one.

So, if I have this scenario :

somedir/aFile.cxx

and in another folder

anotherdir/aFile.cxx    where aFile.cxx is a symlink to former one

upon saving, the 'anoherdir/aFile.cxx' link is replaced with a standard file 'aFile.cxx'. I guess it should instead update the original (linked) file.....

The correct solution would be to truncate the file to 0 length bytes and then overwrite it, instead of (what I think happens...) deleting it and then recreating.
