Is replacing data/save/region/raw with symlink to ../../../raw/ safe?

I don't know about any downside of that, but maybe I missed something. Obvious result is that it saves 3.7Mb of space per save.
And I'm not planning to move it elsewhere. I just have to remember to replace it each time I upload the save for someone else, yeah.

Nobody replied?

Well, I don't use your OS but I think it should be fine as long as you don't make any raw changes to individual games (obviously).

Yeah, I don't. Even more, I'd like to replace files only in one place after tileset update :)
I've just found out that Windows have symlinks too, but I can't add anything to that yet.

Just make sure you don't make any save-incompatible raw changes.

The internet encourages thoughtful, intelligent discussion and if you disagree I hate you.
