Comment 28 for bug 1524054

Thank you for your input. Mixxx does support symlinks.
Mixxx 2.0 receives some love fixing symlink issues.

The main discussion can be found here:
https://github.com/mixxxdj/mixxx/pull/708

I think I am suffering similar issues:

My library is on /home/daniel/Musik In Musik, there is a symlink, that point to may external HDD, which is sometimes available.

I move tracks around including remaining regularly, and end up with a long list of missing tracks. It bugs me for some time but I not had the time to work or investigate the fix.

Do you? Any help is very appreciated.

Unfortunately this bug, original labelled "Library - missing files after update to 2.0.0-rc1" slightly becomes a meta-bug, which cannot be handled.

It would be a great help, if you could try to separate you findings into several bugs.

If you have fun and time to help some more you may do the next big step towards a solution and provide a step by step list how to reproduce the issue.
This will help us a lot.

But be careful not to mess up your library even more. First backup your /home/<user>/.mixxx folder, to be always able to reproduce the old state. Mixxx supports changing the .mixxx folder by command line. So you might want to create a app starter with
mixxx --settingsPath PATH
where PATH is your alternative library path for testing.
Than you should prepare a testing folder structure that reflects your original library structure but only contains a few tracks.
When you have managed to reproduce an issue, please attach the mixxx.log file from your test run.

Thank you very much.
