This works wonderfully. Instead of cloning the entire dataset now, I just have links to the original image, which saves so much time and memory. I am very much in favor of merging this into the package. |

hi, this option would be amazing, will it be integrated? |

This solves #31. The advantage of having symlinks (
ln -s) is that we can just reference the dataset stored at some other place and create a folder structure at any/multiple desired locations as required by some codebases. Deleting symlinks doesn't delete the original dataset.The changes have been made to support backward compatibility of
move=Trueandmove=Falsealong with the addition ofmove='symlink'. All tests have successfully passed.
