Simultaneous usage of hardlinks and copy with "include"

Help
1

Can I use the "include: " line to have a separate plugin use copy instead of hardlinks?

I want all the music files to be hardlinked while the “extrafiles” to copy, since the plugin doesn’t apparently support hardlinks.

e.g. config.yaml (shortened for reading)

plugins: fetchart embedart convert scrub lastgenre chroma web ftintitle importadded inline discogs badfiles duplicates mbsync
directory: /mnt/user/downloads/hardlinks/music
library: /config/musiclibrary.blb
threaded: yes
original_date: no
per_disc_numbering: yes
include: 
    - config_extrafiles.yaml
ignore_hidden:yes
ignore: .AppleDouble ._* *~ .DS_Store 

paths:
import:
    write: yes
    copy: no
    move: no
    hardlink: yes
    resume: ask
    incremental: yes
    quiet_fallback: skip
    timid: no
    log: /config/beet.log
lastgenre:

All include does is use all the configuration options from a given file, just as if you had included all those options right there. It won’t affect the behavior of a third-party plugin.

Dang :confused: I’ll have to figure out a different method, maybe run beets twice with two separate config files…
