unsure why this happens, but for some reason, if i have a game set up like this:

megaman
├── linux
│   └── Mega Man (USA).zip
└── windows
    └── Mega Man (USA).zip -> ../../../ROMS/nes/Mega Man (USA).zip

it'll error like so on trying to import the windows version of the game and stop the container.

@DecDuck commented on GitHub (Aug 1, 2025):

Rust says it should follow symlinks:

This function will traverse symbolic links to query information about the destination file.

The function is poorly written, so I'll refactor it properly and see if it resolves this issue.
