When browsing files in a directory containing a broken symlink, the following files doesn't show.
OSX's "Alias" doesn't seam to be affected.
Possibly this is a *nix-problem...
Thank's for the good job!

How do you mean? if we have a nbr of files in a folder say a - d and a symlinked e.
When "e" is broken a - d shows but not e?
Or does some of the other ones also dissapear?
if the latter could you post an easy way to reproduce.

But if you remove the source, it doesn't link to anything. The if this is a movie it wouldn't play because it isn't on the HD anymore...
I still haven't gotten why it should show it. when a symlink gets broken it's usually because linux can't access the file, and if linux can't acess it then XBMC wouldn't either. Thus the file wouldn't play anyway
At me when the symlink works I get
a
b
c
d
e
Inside xbmc, if I delete e only
a
b
c
Gets shown, these are the only files which actually work.
Does only d show at you when you delete e? even if a b c are still present?

I moved you back because I don't run XBMC osx but it is a bug if it does what you are describing. Works in linux though.
