Description
I would help a lot if it were possible to create torrents from directories or files outside of the data directory.
A simple way to do this could be adding a toggle "Action for external data" field to the "Create torrent" dropdown with the options:
-
Symlink (Linux / Mac)
-
Hardlink (Linux / Mac)
-
Copy (All OSes)
For v1 it could stay like that and errors would be sent to the frontend.
The most import error to make readable would be the "PermissionError?". I2PSnark shouldn't just say "no permission", but tell where along the path there was no permission. Maybe write an article and hyperlink with more information on what went wrong and how to resolve the issue.
