Lf: command `select' fails when given broken links

[doronbehar]

I noticed that if you have a broken symlink, select fails when it tries to focus the file selector on it with the following error:

select: stat broken: no such file or directory

broken is the file name.

I've encountered this issue when I used a customized mapping for / I wrote to improve the file search experience using fzf and ZSH:

map / $lf -remote "send $id select '$(all_files=(./*(ND)); printf '%s\n' ${all_files[@]} | fzf)'"

Just had the same issue when I opened a directory full of orphaned symlinks and wanted to use LF to delete some of them. The same message appears when renaming a broken symlink (fortunately it does get renamed afterwards).

I have went through our stat calls and converted some of them to lstat calls so now:

• select should work with broken links
• toggled broken links are not removed during load
• copy does not overwrite broken links

Hopefully, I haven't broken anything in the meantime. Closing this issue now.

Confirmed that select should work with broken links. Thanks again!
