Bug: Recursive directories because of shortcuts
It takes about an hour to just build up a tree of my dual booted Windows partition (256GB). The program's "seen counter" just keeps incrementing to giga bytes then terra bytes way beyond the partition's size. Looking at the resulting tree/disk, it is clear that (relatively speaking) all the size is from a directory that shortcuts to itself in Windows.
I wanted to take a screenshot of it -- I had closed it after the first finished run unfortunately -- but on second run, it just crashed. It had already "found" 2.7TB. Thus here is a screenshot of the file structure.
I believe that regardless of the possibility that there is a recursion in the tree, the program shouldn't follow them ever. (I can't think of a use case where the user wants to have that included.) Hence, I consider it a bug and request it to be fixed. If shortcuts are not ignored, then at least some kind of mechanism should prevent loops from occurring in the size discovery navigation.
The software worked fine before and was able to do analysis in only a few minutes. My guess on why I never encountered this problem before is that the recursive link simply hasn't been there and it's a result of installing an old game yesterday. (Other possibility is that past days, I did a system upgrade, and thus a software upgrade.)
