geeqie Option to dereference symlinks when moving/copying

Setup (please complete the following information):

Geeqie version [geeqie --version]: Geeqie 2.6.1 GTK3

Describe your feature request I am using git annex to handle my photos which means that every photos ends up being a symbolic link. When placing the photos into my Digikam library I need them as files though. Currently when I use move/copy in Sort manager the symbolic links are copied/moved, not the actual files. It would be great to have an option to change this behavior.

Do you want the option to be located in Preferences or within each copy/move dialog?

Perhaps a combination of both. Inside Preferences there could be:

Dereference symlinks when copying/moving files: yes/no [default]/ask

If the value was ask, then the dialog will pop-up before the operation.
