Hey guys,

thanks for the efforts in creating and maintaining this project. Please support symlinks on Windows if possible.

As soon as I download a model within your app interface, everything works fine as expected.

Feature Request

But if I create a symlink on Windows (mklink), GPT4All is unable to load the file:

Although some models may be tailored specifically to your app (I remember Falcon being one of those canditates), I'd like to avoid duplicates of more popular model files like Llama3.2 3B Instruct on my systems, placing them all in one directory and creating proper symlinks to the location paths, due to I'd like to use the samel model (file) within different applications (not only limited to GPT4All).

Thank you and best regards!
