TC8.01 doesn't handle symlinks properly

[E6300]

I have this directory on my file system:

f:\Programs\boost\
Contents:
boost\ (symlink to boost_1_54_0-vc11\)
boost_1_54_0-vc11\

If the left pane stands on, say, f:\Programs\boost\boost\ while the right pane stands on an unrelated directory, say, f:\foo\, and I try to run f:\Programs\boost\boost\boost.png, I get a file not found error. Using Process Monitor, I see that Total Commander tried to access f:\foo\boost_1_54_0-vc11\boost.png. If the right pane stands on f:\, TC tries to access f:\Programs\boost\boost_1_54_0-vc11\boost_1_54_0-vc11\boost.png.
Reversing the panes has no effect.

Can you try the same with TC 8.5 beta, please? Just install it to a different directory to keep your installation of 8.01.

Yes, the bug is still there.

OK, I have checked it now - TC does not support symlinks which only contain a relative path, not a full path. I have added this now to beta 14, please test.

If it still doesn't work, please check with the DIR command in cmd.exe what exactly your link contains.

OK, it appears to work now. Thanks!

Great, thanks for checking!
