--- Comment #26 from Gabriel Ivăncescu <gabrielopcode at gmail.com> ---
I can confirm reverting that patch allows notepad (and other apps) to open the
symlink files. However, the size is still reported as zero, is this intended?
I'm guessing it's the case on Windows, so technically it's more correct to
return 0, though having "invisible" file symlinks was pretty nice. Hopefully it
won't break anything though (if apps rely on the file size). And I guess it's
needed to match Windows behavior.
Still wondering if it's possible to only apply this "Windows-correct" behavior
on specially encoded symlinks (i.e. those created from within wine itself, not
outside of it) and keep reporting the file's size as before otherwise. Would
that be too much of a burden?
