What problem does this solve
The user-visible error for no symlink creation on import makes no mention of filesystem type.
exFAT/FAT32 don't support symlinks. Had to reformat my underlying drive to NTFS before it would import.
Proposed solution
Change user-visible error from:
import failed: failed to link model into place: Incorrect function. (os error 1); the symlink fallback failed too: Incorrect function. (os error 1) (creating a symlink needs Windows Developer Mode or an elevated app) (Note: hand copied, not copy-pasted so may have transcription errors)
To:
Import failed: failed to link model into place: Incorrect function. (os error 1); the symlink fallback failed too: Incorrect function. (os error 1) (creating a symlink needs Windows Developer Mode or an elevated app on an NTFS partition, FAT partitions do not support symlinks)
Alternatives considered
I did clone the repo but any string literal searches came up with nothing. Tried PyTorch too with similar lack of success. Maybe I just need practice using SublimeText's Find In Files... but Ornith 1.5 was convinced it's in FreeToken's code around ft serve Ran into other issues post-linking but at least the linking worked once the underlying filesystem was compatible.
