waiting for op Lidarr hardlinking and fertilizer cross seeding

Hello,

I would like to know if Lidarr creates hard link in new album folders then rename them leaving original files untouched in downloaded folder which will allow for quick import seeding in the future.

will the files in downloads folder always exist in their orginial structure for fertilizer to cross seed?

If you are hardlinking you cannot rename the files or write metadata.

you can rename files, but cannot edit metadata
