@florent As a note, I'm using Debian as the base OS for XO. Other OS, like Ubuntu may have other name conflicts...
As for links, the dropdown box should show the link and it's destination). As a link, I don't think you need to "follow" it when selected (like a directory would), it's just a file. I did not check other non-standard files (like devices).
If I select a directory to restore then it would be good if the links are included. Both tar and zip do support links, so they should be restorable.
