clementine's library scanner doesn't follow symlinks pointing to relative paths #1853

i attempted to add a symbolic link to a directory containing audio files (podcasts), to the directory clementine monitors for changes and i used a relative path (ln -s ../Podcast/ Podcast).
clementine shows a brief "updating library" message but nothing else happens: there are no new entries in the library when there should be a few ones.

when using an absolute path (ln -s /media/SomeHDD/Podcast Podcast), the (automatic) library update works as expected and the new entries show up.

i regard relative paths quite useful in this case, because the symlink might break if the HDD containing the library gets mounted in another location than /media/SomeHDD.

tested on ubuntu 11.04

If that's true then it's a good and precise catch. ;}
