bl-conky-manager ignores symlinks to conky files about bunsen-utilities HOT 3 CLOSED

Hi @tdanhorn thanks for your attention to this.
However, I'm unable to reproduce this issue.
According to man bash:

CONDITIONAL EXPRESSIONS
...
Unless otherwise specified, primaries that operate on files follow sym‐
bolic links and operate on the target of the link, rather than the link
itself

The -f condition has no such extra specification, and I've just confirmed in a quick test that [[ -f $file ]] tests the link target, if $file is a symlink.

In fact, ~/.config/conky already contains a symlink: BL-Default-conky.conf which points to BL-Lithium-conky.conf in the same directory. Both filenames appear in bl-conky-manager when I run it.

That leaves the question of why your symlinked file failed to be detected. Could you try again to make sure there wasn't a typo when you created the symlink?

Thanks for looking into this. You are right, I can't reproduce it either now, my bad. I probably had a broken symlink when I tried.

Anyway, thanks for your interest in BunsenLabs!
