OSError: [Errno 2] No such file or directory: '[...]/.kolekto/movies/[SHA1]' about kolekto HOT 7 CLOSED

I think this bug is caused by a relative path used while import with --symlink. Can you try using an absolute one?

If you confirm that the problem is actually caused by a relative path, I'll patch Kolekto to convert relative paths to absolute one.

With absolute symlinks, I don't have this error. But I need relative symlinks, the tree is on a network mountpoint.

Ok, I can translate relative symlink to relative one from the root of the Kolekto tree, but I can't promise you a patch today.

That said, I do not recommend using symbolic links to import movies in Kolekto. I rely on the fact that the movies pool will not be modified by hand and Kolekto will traceback if you rename/delete any movie which will cause a broken link. I recommend using hard links: they are not affected by any rename or delete, and if you decide someday to use Kolekto as your main movies pool, you just have to delete the original files to do the job :-).

Yeah but the hardlinks don't works with distinct FS and some FS don't support them. If I want to backup the tree, it's lighter to backup symlinks. I can't use Kolekto as my main movie pool, if a bug breaks the system, I has a bunch of files named by sha1 which is not usable.

Yep, I anticipated this kind of problem (as I use Kolekto as main pool) and implemented a dump command which allow to export the database in JSON format. I run it each day by a cronjob.

I finally fixed your problem. Can you confirm that 478e2ec do what is expected from it?

from kolekto.

I confirm, no more problem with this version.
