".." takes to list of drives instead of one up level directory structure

[Au Nguy]

Select 'Browse" and keep go down several subdirectories and then select ".." to go up one directory, it will take you back completely to the list of drives. This is Mixxx 1.8.0~beta1 running Windows XP SP3.

I can confirm this bug but I can't find the cause. All we have is
BrowseTableModel.cpp and BrowseFilter.cpp, did I miss anything?
Besides the filtering we do, this is almost a plain
QFileSystemModel...

We change directories by appending '..' to the path. This might not be portable. Maybe we need to use QDir::cdUp().

I just committed a potential fix for this in r2583 in trunk (sorry).

[Sean M. Pappalardo (pegasus-renegadetech)]

It works fine in trunk. The only remaining problem is that on Windows, there's no ".." entry at the root of a drive so you are now unable to get to the list of drives. (In Linux it's fine, and even shows a no-op ".." entry when you're at / .)
