Symlink breaks scanning

First of all, I love this plugin. This is my WordPress Windirstat or QDirstat (Mac)

In my WordPress on shared hosting @ Dreamhost, a symlinked folder are added automatically:
/user/USERNAME/domain.com/.dh-diag/
inside is dh-php-diags.php and another symlinked folder “diag”

When scanning, Disk Usage Insights chokes on the folder and go into an endless loop.

Solution?
in plugins/disk-usage-insights/src/Domain/Collect/ScanDirForSubDirsJob.php

$files = scandir($realDir) ?? [];
foreach ($files as $file) {
    if ($file == '.' || $file == '..' || !is_dir($realDir . '/' . $file)) {
        continue;
    }

Replace the if with

if ($file == '.' || $file == '..' || $file[0] === '.' || !is_dir($realDir . '/' . $file)) {

in order to prevent folders starting with “.” a dot to be included. it is probably better to skip symlinked folders: (not tested yet)

    if (
        $file == '.' ||
        $file == '..' ||
        is_link($realDir . '/' . $file) ||
        !is_dir($realDir . '/' . $file)
    ) {
        continue;
    }

Cheers!
