ocrd workspace validate: strange behaviour with symbolic links

See original GitHub issue

If you have an workspace, which has symbolic links in Image Source Folder (OCR-D-IMG), then it looks like that the command ocrd workspace validate creates an copy for this image additional to the symbolic link. This is only the case, if the symbolic link has an absolute path (not a relative one).

Before validate: grafik

After validate: grafik

Example workspace: reproduceStrangeValidate.zip

I think the problem is in workspace.py on line 146

url_path = Path(f.url).resolve()

If the file url is with symbolic links, resolve will return the real path and this is usually not in the workspace directory.

any chance to replace resolve with absolute?

url_path = Path(f.url).absolute()
