Well, sorry:

I have a bunch of files and in the tree structure, there is also
a sybolic link  pointing to another folder with files.

I wanted to work on all those file, getting them with the :tree
command. Since :tree does not follow symbolic links, I had to
separately get the files in the symbolic link (pointing to a
folder):

(two times the use of :tree to get files in the symbolic link
'gal' (pointing to a directory) as well.

| gall {virtual} :
|     :tree gallery { skipdir = AAPDIR|zzz }
|         :attr { publish = $(ftp_url)%file% } $name
|         :publish $name
|     :tree gallery/gal { skipdir = AAPDIR|zzz }
|         :attr { publish = $(ftp_url)%file% } $name
|         :publish $name
`---

So I'm just pointing out, a follow-symbolic-link flag for :tree
might be a good idea maybe? (well, I solved it in my case with 2
:tree statements, what is ok as well (as long there are not more
symbolic links folders, I think))

Cheers and thanks,
