Status:
RESOLVED: LATER

User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.8.1.1) Gecko/20061222 Firefox/2.0.0.1
Build Identifier: 

Under the "Filesystem" menu box, symlinked folders are not listed

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Inside folder "A", make a symlink to another existing folder "B" with ln -s /path/to/B
2. Open xfburn
3. Under "Filesystem", browse to folder "A"

Actual Results:  
The symlinked folder "B" is not listed in the "Filesystem" tree. Symlinked folders do appear in the second window, but they do nothing when opened.

Expected Results:  
Symlinked folders should appear and be functional in the "Filesystem" tree and the second window.

I'm using the most recent xfburn from svn, revision 24191.

i just commited a patch that hide symbolic links in the directory browser for more consistency

the problem you describe is well known (at least to me ;) ), this is there to avoid cyclic problem when dropping a folder with cycle into a composition; a solution could be to show them and allow browsing but to prevent adding them to a composition.

i've marked this bug as LATER because i'm currently focusing efforts on porting xfburn to libburn
