[REGRESSION] symlinks are improperly URL-encoded
Last modified: 2009-01-29 09:47:03 UTC
I have some directories full of symlinks. When doing Browse Music Folder in the web UI and navigating to these directories, the filenames are showing up with %20 for space, etc. This bug was not in 6.2.2. (env: Fedora Core 4, x86_64, tarball install.) (I don't know if "web UI" is the right component.)
"clear library and rescan" did not fix it.
reverting r8079 fixes this. bug 2757 (supposedly fixed by r8079) summary says something about an "option" to blah blah blah. well i did not enable any "option"... i don't know what r8079 fixed, but it sure broke the behavior of Browse Music Folder with symlinks. i think it should be reverted, and if bug 2757 is really a bug, it should be fixed some other way. perhaps, as the summary says, it should be an OPTION in a config file for those who want.
Fixed in change 8248

this is a general problem with linux (possibly other unixes, OS X ?) and symbolic links. This should make searching for the problem easier.
