Thank you for noticing, maybe that is exactly the problem, so the directory: /home/data1/protected/Media/Pictures/Pictures is actually symlink to: /home/data1/protected/Work/2nd-Dynamic/Division_3/Dept_9/Pictures Maybe it is related to calculation of the relative symlink. > I try to find out if there is something special in your use case. > Personally I use Y very frequently and have never seen a problem like > this. I use it frequently too and this is first time that I have encountered this.
