Hi.
If I import a project that includes a soft-linked file using 
File->Import->General->Existing Projects into Workspace with "Copy projects into workspace" on, the soft-linked file gets copied in so it's a physical file rather than a soft link. Can you consider giving users an option to copy the soft link instead?
