Bug Description

Binary package hint: quodlibet

I have my music library spread in several different places (on different computers), and combine them together by creating symlinks in the Music directory, so that Rhythmbox can see them all and keep up to date. Quod Libet doesn't follow these links when indexing for its library, and it should.

Bug is still in the current versions:
quodlibet 2.1-4 lucid de.archive.ubuntu.com
quodlibet 2.2.1-0~ppa1~lucid lucid ppa.launchpad.net

As a workaround I have to add the link-name ~/Music/shared-mp3 to the Library list: ~/Music:~/Music/shared-mp3
