Symbolic links not supported?

RomTheG

Hello,

Can someone confirms Traktor still not manage files stored into folders created with mklink on Windows?

I've successfully used a hardlink folder some time in the past.

Hi @Anselm. Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, I am facing an issue with folder junction on Windows 10 and Traktor 3.6.2. For the record, here is the scenario...

Setup folder junction:

1. c:
2. cd \
3. mkdir c:\target
4. mklink /j c:\link c:\target
5. move some mp3 tracks into c:\link

Import into Traktor:

1. import tracks from c:\link into Traktor
2. check consistency > no problem detected
3. play imported tracks > success
4. close Traktor
5. open collection.nml in an xml editor > the location dir of tracks is "/:" instead of "/:link/:"
6. relaunch Traktor
7. check collection consistency > tracks are detected as "missing"

Confirm reproducibility:

1. relocate missing tracks from c:\link
2. check consistency > no problem detected
3. play imported tracks > success
4. close Traktor
5. open collection.nml in an xml editor > the location dir of tracks is "/:" instead of "/:link/:"
6. relaunch Traktor
7. check collection consistency > tracks are detected as "missing"

I've had a path problem myself and solved it by updating it to the latest version... might be that path handling was errorous in multiple aspects? ( https://community.native-instruments.com/discussion/7813/my-library-doubles-imported-m3u-with-relative-paths-superslow-browser#latest )
