Symbolic links don't work when repo is cloned on Windows

Sorry for mistakes in the text

Created a website on localhost and uploaded the files to the root. Instead of a window with the program I see a blank screen.

There isn't really anything special that you need to do, as iD is a single page javascript app. If you clone the project somewhere that a web server will serve it, things should just work.

As a simple test, use a console to go into the project root and start the web server this way:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer
Then visit localhost:8000 with a supported browser (webkit or firefox) and you should see something.

Note: on Windows you won't see images because Windows does not support symbolic links, also if you have Python 3 and not Python 2 the you start the web server by running python -m http.server 8000 --bind 127.0.0.1.

Interesting.. I guess someone motivated enough could fix the symlinks on Windows using a technique like described here.

So, if you transfer the program on Linux it should work?

In the case of symlinks it does fix it, but in this case it's something else. Does the console give you any errors?

Thanks for the help, the program works on Linux.
