Bug Description

My primary music folder (/home/username/Music, which is also set as the default music folder in Noise) has symlinks pointing to various other music folders on other drives.
When I edit the metadata of a track and choose to write the changes back to the file, Noise moves the file from the original location(other partition/drive) to the default music folder.

The above action creates two entries in the library ( one with the previous,correct location and the other with the location of the file written to the default music location. The former being inaccessible [ see screenshot ] )

Other information : 'Copy imported files to Library' has been turned off.
