Symlinks not being able to resolved effectively crash the folder navigation, instead of just being rendered as a broken link in the UI #24

Hey 👋

I'm using smoosense to explore a remote distributed block storage system. It sometimes occurs in our storage system that people place symlinks that don't necessarily can resolve on every host, because paths are slightly different (please don't ask why we have these symlinks in the first place 😅).

Unfortunately, even just one such symlink in a directory leads to the folder navigation being rendered unusable. It just shows following error message, and all other UI elements of the folder tree vanish:

Error loading folder tree:

[Errno 2] No such file or directory: '[path not resolvable]'

How about displaying unresolvable symlinks just as a red colored file-equivalent in the folder tree?
